We left our B&B by 9:00am and headed down to Meissen. We had a very pleasant stay at our B&B with an excellent breakfast every day. If anyone needs a B&B in Meissen we can recommend where we stayed.
If you have a car there is no problem but if you arrive on foot or by bike you need to remember it is near the top of a hill. It usually took us about 35 minutes to walk into town, apart from the day I decided to find a short cut when it took us about 55 minutes!
Fortunately the predicted 36C for today did not develop until after we had finished walking. Shortly after we left Meissen it clouded over but it still remained warm and very humid. There were lots of places where flood damage was clearly evident but many businesses have obviously worked very hard to get back in operation
We arrived at our pension at 2:00 pm to find we were not expected, at least by the landlady! It transpired her husband had failed to inform her of our arrival. However she was only fazed for a few minutes before she found us a good room.
We showered, rinsed all our clothes and then rested for a few hours to miss the hottest part of the day.
At 5pm we walked down a small hill to a restaurant which overlooked the Elbe ferry. A beautiful spot and an excellent restaurant. I had smoked salmon with a very good salad and sliced fried new potatoes. Shiel had a turkey salad and we slaked our thirst with a dry muller thurgau.
We then found a quiet spot to sit by the river before returning to the pension for another shower.
Storms are predicted overnight with some rain tomorrow but temperatures only in the high 20's.
Today's walk was only about 16.2km.
