First day in
Pfaffenhofen began with another fantastic breakfast (courtesy of Uta – Simon’s
Mum). This road trip is determined to make us put on all the weight we lost in
Asia and the beginning of Europe! Hans (Simon’s Dad) lent us his car for the
day so we had loads of room and Simon got to go faster than the Toyota Yaris
allows when chocka block with us + gear.
On the road
to Regensburg to visit Simon’s sister Lisa, she was at home with her daughter
Johanna sick from school so we had cake, cuppa and chats with them before
heading off to explore the town itself. In town we tasted delicious local
mini-sausages with sweet mustard, saw a BIG spider, theatre, town hall, river, ancient
bridge, watched cats clambering (and fighting) in trees outside a big old
church, found a cafe named Anna, loads of stencil graf and a pretty good coffee
to keep us warm.
We headed
back to Lisa’s place as her husband Juan Diego was back from work – he is
Columbian and shares many things in common with Bray...including ‘screen
addiction’, liking for sweet treats and enjoyment of Kiwi music. He has the
latest Naked & Famous album –
woohoo! More hot drinks and chats before we headed home to Pfaffenhofen for
dinner. Uta had prepared her famous goulash with potato cakes = delicious!
Chats after
dinner and a few episodes of Breaking Bad
watched before bed. A good day.
