While we were fairly certain of the bus route, I had to make sure so at 0820 (bus expected at 0836) I walked to the bus stop I thought was the right one but then thought if he took another street I would never know, so I went to where the road divides and at 0836 he arrived (of course). I then went up to the next stop to confirm the stop. The reason this was important is because there is only one bus a day. To travel 35 kms will take us 5.5 hours with 2 bus changes, but it’s ok because it gives us another town to walk around.

Spoke for a little while with a young German at breakfast. He only has the use of one side of his body due to a stroke. He was off on his bike to explore a little and for his health. It was one of those cycles where you lie back in a low cabin and pedal out in front and I guess the left leg moves the right one. We wished him well.

We love to walk in this soft green stunning landscape which we did today because we were off to walk to a gorge. On the way we met a middle aged woman who lived near the gorge and was collecting weeds for her pet rabbit, they looked so good, Corrie asked her what they were in expectation of an exotic response. 

The track took us along a windy narrow forested ridge with sheer drops on each side then down a slippery, also winding, set of steps, to a semi trailer wide river, flowing strongly under its covered wooden bridge with sides on. Following the river partly back, then winding ourselves up a hill was a lovely walk. 

Back at home to see who is writing to us is a great part of the day, whether you write on the blog or by email. We would love to know who has joined us and maybe you have suggestions on improvement. 

We finish our challenge on Friday and have reached our target of 600, and will finish closer to 700. We will continue our walk in the Alps and foothills at a more gentle pace and maybe reach around 850. Then we will be off for a few days in Munich (still posting) – writing poetry to match with the day’s walks while Corrie will do what she wants, instead of what I want, although she loves walking in the mountains. So her best time starts tomorrow afternoon when we arrive in Fussen after walks on our way as we make 2 lengthy bus change-overs. We hope we get a good bus driver who can tell us where and when to catch the other buses, otherwise we will ask a passenger or two.
