Here’s the view from our apartment last night. The sunsets have been so beautiful.
–
We started off the day by riding past the old royal palace. It was massive!! The grounds were so beautiful to ride through as well.
–
We decided today would be our playground day. To see how many we could get in one day! Conveniently there was one on the palace grounds.
–
The trail took us through the woods for a while. It was a bit chilly.
–
Till we came across another playground!

This one was incredible! So many areas and abilities could play in this one space. We snacked and played for a bit before moving on.
–
Lots of riding through little towns today.
–
A bakery and playground stop for lunch. Their pastries are so dang good!
–
Asparagus fields! Also known as Fargel in German.
–
We rode past the Mercedes Benz factory today. Then this train passed us full of brand new cars. 🤑
–
The days final playground. Again it was completely amazing!
–
We finally made it to our hotel and it was in an industrial part of town. About 6 miles from the center of Mannheim. The hotel was clean but also weird. It was part of another hotel and had basically a vending machine to get your room key from after you entered your confirmation code.
We were just happy to be done riding and walking to dinner.
–
Pizza!!
–
Also Europe sells these personal sized bottles of wine. This one was 1€!
–
We got the kids asleep. We had no internet so we chatted future biking adventures and crashed. Tomorrow is a long day, 50+ miles so we’re trying to get up and out the door early.
