Kinder (kids)

Kids are starting to get used to biking and bribery is starting to level out; however, kids are definitely getting their share of treats. The owner of the hotel we stayed at in Mengen kept giving the kids gummy bears and chocolates - at one point Patti and Gavin were playing on the grass outside and Kaya noticed an arm poke through the hedges and give a handful of candies to them - he kept saying “das good”.
May 7 - biked Mengen to Munderkinden (~ 48 km)
One 20% hill was a killer.
May 8 - biked Munderkinden to Ulm (~50 km)
Rain all day, but warm. Layover day in Ulm on May 9, but still biked 20 km and climbed stairs up the Ulmer Münster - largest cathedral in south Germany with the highest steeple in the world at 161 m! Also went for a soak at Donau Bad (bath). Tried white asparagus which seems to be in season - much sweeter than green. John got a new rear wheel - bike shop said he would have been lucky to get to Vienna.
May 10 - biked Ulm to Gundelfingen (~45 km) Rosie has had a fever until today - now feeling a bit better and laughing again.
Crew seems to all be one same sleep schedule, early to bed and rise. Most bikers we see on the trail are retirees on e-bikes and seem pretty blown away that we’re on regular bikes hauling kids.
Trip odometer ~ 290 km.
