Integration succeeded!
Shortly after starting in Utzmemmingen, we reach the state border to Bavaria. Surprisingly, we find neither a barrier nor border guards. We drive carefully and with slightly reduced speed over the imaginary line and the thought torments us what would happen if we were caught during the illegal border crossing. Minutes of fear accompany us until we consider ourselves safe after a few kilometers.
To disguise our migration background, we participate in a field service with a brass choir including baptism in Großsorheim. Thank God, no one notices our Protestant roots even during the Lord's Prayer.
We continue until Donauwörth. Following the brass music, we find ourselves at the island festival with fish stabbing after a few meters. A glance at the clock 11.30! There is just enough time for a traditional weißwurst breakfast with weißbier accompaniment without violating state laws.
Before our bikes loaded with panniers expose us as tourists, we quickly make our escape. #Let's go across the Danube bridge towards Augsburg. When we reach the Lech, the sky darkens and the lightning strikes down.
We discard the initial doubts whether we have fallen out of favor with the Bavarian weather god due to the fact that Bavarian cyclists also get caught in the storm rain and get wet.
The capital of Bavarian Swabia, Augsburg, welcomes us Swabians from Württemberg with sunshine and we are glad to have completed the 2nd day of our tour.
