Wallhala and Aporel

The Lederhosen and Heidi/Maria theme continues at breakfast and there's even Burcher Muesli. Slightly leaden skies as we roll out onto the road at 8, our usual time. It brightens later on as we pass through pleasant but unremarkable Bavarian countryside. We are amazed at the number of properties that have solar panels on their roofs, many of which completely cover the entire roof space of the properties, completely ruining their appearance. Apparently there are big subsidies available from the Government, hence their popularity and scale. High up in the hills to our right is Walhalla, and we are not sure what this is, it looks as if it's modelled on the Parthenon, but we think it has associations with Hitler, Wagner and possibly Norse mythology. We arrive at Reggensburg and sample a popular drink here which is a mix of Prosecco and Aporel. We are not totally certain what it is and assume it must be an Italian style liqueur. On our way to Ingolstadt tomorrow and Andrew's last day with us. (Deggendorf to Reggensberg - 54 miles)
