17p rer Kilometer !!!

From Tubugen to Gundelsheim there's a 200km stretch of the Neckar with only one campsite - and that is in Stuttgart (half way). The alternatives were to split the route into 4 fifty km days but that meant three B and B's. ..... now I know I'm tight, but I wasn't going to run to that! ... so I did the 100km to Stuttgart in one, and prepared to take a day off to recover.
Stuttgart!! ... it would be better called Mercedesville. It seem to be built on the 'American' model ... massive boulevards, sliproads, underpasses and so on. The campsite (11Euros) was bounded on two sides by motorways and a railway on the third. It was so idyllic I immediately forgot the idea of a rest day ... in fact with the traffic noise I didn't get much rest that night either. Next day I set of to a Youth Hostel about 40km away but it was fully booked and I eventually found a cheap BandB in a place called Besigheim. (30Euros)
At least the countryside is back to its scenic best and the weather has picked up so I'm doing the last section to Gundelsheim today to the haven of it's campsite. ....
and so to the matter of 17p/ km ... I've worked out that by doing all those bloody miles in two days, thats all the saving I've made!
