By the lake shore in Zell am See, then a bite to eat. Lake, mountains, beer, food... what more could you want?

Above the village... it's sometimes worth walking up random staircases without knowing where they lead!

Up on the hill in North Hallstatt. You know - the one where all the tourists take their photos. Wonder why?

Ahhh... so this is what it looks like when the sun shines! By Lake Hallstatt - spectacular!

Well - I tuned in to the Olympics to watch track cycling but.. that Zonderland dude on the horizontal bar was worth seeing. Un-be-lievable!

Rather overcast views across Lake Hallstatt. Pretty impressive all the same. Should look good on a blue sky day!

Just one random view from the trip today. Beautiful scenery everywhere from Reit im Winkl to Hallstatt.

Stuck in a German beer garden in torrential rain. Luckily we have the essentials: big umbrella, more beer & pancakes!

Today's ride over to Austria & back. Definition of 'bike path' bit fuzzy here so some cyclocross action in there

Dinner at Porto Bello. Traditional German (the name surprised us!). Accordion guy made some (thankfully good) noise!

Take my update from this time yesterday and replace 'men' with 'women'. Team GB are setting the track on fire in London!

Passing Achensee couldn't resist having a little break and a stroll. Sadly a bit cloudy but nice all the same.

Paddling in the river Isar. By the strange little toll road through Karwendel und Karwendelvorgebirge Nature Reserve.

Post ride breakie: schnitzel, meat ball, salmon, sliced meat & cheeses, eggs, breads, cakes, fruit salad, yoghurt, cereals, juice, tea...

Dinner at Hotel Gasthof Alter Wirt in Farchant. Authentic German fare. Simple, cheap & tasty. Just how we like it!

Unbelievable men's Team Pursuit final! Hairs standing on end watching that even with German commentary Must be electric in the velodrome!

The Moorish Kiosk in the grounds of Linderhof Palace... not something you expect to find in the Bavarian mountains!

Ettal Abbey (Kloster). Very impressive under the dome but seems just about everything else is closed to the public.

Unusual semi-submerged statues by Amersee. And geese bullying Pratiwi. She'll stick to feeding ducks from now on!

We overnight in Augsburg. Seemed quite a vibrant place. Shame about the overhead cables, but that's modern living

Kaethe Wohlfahrt shop. Huge & very Christmassy! No photos allowed but Pratiwi loved it so couldn't resist. Oops!

Breakfast at Altes Brauhaus in Rothenburg ob der Tauber (not too shabby for 300 years old!), & the aftermath. Yum

Meistertrunk clock: a celebration of Mayor Nusch who saved the village in 1631 by downing 6 pints of wine. Go Mayor!

The Neumünster here in Würzburg. With all that fancy decoration kind of like stepping inside a giant wedding cake?
