50 km, (total 955) 8-14deg, cloudy and cool (in some parts quite cold!) with showers/drizzle all the way nearly. Lovely quiet hotel out of town away from traffic and crowds equals a good nights sleep last night. A hearty brekkie with two bus loads of tourists at 7:30am and we were on the road by 8:30. As if on cue the light rain started and the temp dropped to about 8deg. So we stopped before we started to don a layer of wet-weather-gear. On we went into the light rain. A mix of paths (both gravel & bitumen) along the Inn River or quiet back roads or great off-road cycle paths filled the day. A stiff tailwind pushed us along nicely and the kms clicked over fairly easy. The coffee/bakery options were fairly scarce but we managed to sniff one out at the little town of Marktl which pleased the caffeine addicts. By then we only had 10 odd km to go so we skipped the lunch stop in favour of a warm, dry hotel room. A really efficient lady booked us in, locked our bikes away and in no time at all we were warm, dry and fed. A planned afternoon ride around the area had to be cancelled due to the rather nasty showers and thunder storms that were coming through at regular intervals. Lucky for us this hotel (Inn Hotel, Simbach) is brand new (6weeks old) has a combo coffee shop / restaurant / bakery on the ground floor and a supermarket next door. So we could lounge around, drink coffee, eat cake, get drunk (as if) and then stagger up to bed virtually under one roof. We'll blame the weather for the perceived lack of activity. The main reason we are stopping here is for Gunther to re-visit where his parents and elder siblings used to work and live. In fact we are staying in Simbach, Germany (due to the hotel availability) while Braunau is a couple of km or so across the river in Austria. Braunau just happens to be the birth place of a bloke we've heard a lot about over the last couple of weeks, Adolf Hitler. Picked up some wine and beer (both cheaper than drinking bottled water) from the Aldi style supermarket next door for our pre-dinner tipple which we had in a lounge area of the foyer. We then had to walk a whole 10m through the connecting door of the bakery/restaurant for a lovely schnitzel and potatoes. A wander down the road and back in reasonably warm sunshine completed another great day on tour. Tomorrow it's into Austria to explore Gunther's family past.
