The second day (87 km), was amazingly hot and windy as we followed the Danube further and headed towards Ulm, we didn’t quite make it to Ulm and stopped at Erbach-Ersingen for a cool down swim in a small lake before deciding to stay at the nearby Hirsch guesthouse that offered camping possibilities. The campsite was really cute but I have to add, from all the placed we stayed on the journey this one was the worst, not because of the facilities, which were really basic, we’re not fussy, it was the fact that they had a group of Dutch travellers staying that behaved really badly and loudly until the early hours of the morning when they kindly left at 4.00 a.m thank you very much! The thing is, it’s also a working farm and on this day they had tractors with mega lights, rumbling around and doing harvesting things right next to the site until past midnight. It was a pretty bad night and the mood the next day was not the best.
The funniest part of the day was as we approached Ulm, a really friendly guy noticed us checking the route and asked us in the broadest Schwabish dialect where we were going "Wo gangsch na?" He told us we were right “Hosch recht.” and instructed us to follow him “Komm mit.” He then lead us about 3km to the path that would take us into Ulm. He was really fast on his e-bike and wondered why we were so slow behind, then realised we were on normal bikes.
