Ulm is bigger than i thought

      My phone battery had died in the night so there was no alarm for me in the morning! i awoke at 9AM and swiftly went down for breakfast, then by the time i had showered and packed up all my stuff I asked the reception if it was OK to leave the bike to have a walk around which obviously it was, I done the tourist stuff around the kirk and bought water and snacks for the journey on. i tried to find Einsteins statue as this was his birth town! but i think there is building work taking place around it at present, by the time i gathered my bike and packed it -it was after lunch time
   

 i cycled down to the river and took plenty photographs then stopped for lunch and done some research, i had some choices I could cycle on from here but never make a big destination as it was a few mile along some winding tracks that weren't even on the shore of the Danube or i could take the train to ingolstadt with the bike, the next cycling sections were not good cycling and i was already behind schedule due to being a tourist, it was mid afternoon i opted for the train to get myself further downstream, when looking out the window of the train i had made the right decision as i could see the winding dirt track occasionally, I am on a tight schedule and need to be back at work unlike some of my friends i am still too young to be on the seven day weekend

     when i arrived in Ingolstadt i cycled away from the main train station as it seemed to be on the outskirts of the city(i was correct) i cycled for about 3/4 of a mile and came to the Danube once over it i came into the old town rathaus (town hall) and checked my phone app for accommodation there was plenty options it was a big place but a hotel that stuck out for me was over a mile away, nowhere near the old town centre but closer to the Audi factory, this town is Audi's headquarters and factory it also has two refineries and was the town that the Bavarian beer law was started, the Reich hotel was modern and at a good price i booked it from outside the front door then went to reception to find out where to put my bike? there was a sea land container in the car park to put bikes in,I put the auld dear in there beside two others
    I got changed into my running stuff quickly as it would be dark soon and opted for a run out by the Audi factory  which turned out to be very close to the hotel but a five mile loop run around the huge car factory

    after my run i was planning a scooter hire ride into town for dinner and beers but ended up at the hotel bar getting beer out a machine and chatting to a dutch fella who was headed to the Munich beer fest but wanted to visit the Audi museum on route
   I would have loved to have had longer in this town I will probably never be here again but enjoyed the short time i had
