More valley riding to Wertheim

Day 3 We must have seen more cyclists in the last 2 days than in months in the UK. Loads of people have ebikes and the flat riding by the side of the river is ideal for easy riding.
We passed lots of villages with wood framed houses and had lunch in Mildenberg. Unfortunately it then got wet and we couldn't shelter in a bus stop all afternoon so we donned all the foul weather gear and headed into Wertheim which is full of medieval houses but means only one thing to medics- a kind of hysterectomy.

Good for the digestion!

The restaurant was celebrating the pfifferling season so Tom and Jim had what turned out to be chanterelles. An early night and a solid sleep soon followed.
