The next step will be reaching the Danube around the area of Sigmaringen and then follow it all the way to Rumania and Bulgaria before turning off south east to head towards Istanbul where we plan to cross the Bosporus leaving a geographically define Europe behind.
Roughly estimated distance down to Istanbul: 2748 km according to google maps, will probably end up being more than 3000 km

some random stuff:
Kilometer average 47km a day including break days
Kilometer average of 69km a day cycling days only
However some days we manage to do more than 100 a day
until now, no money spent for accomodation, sleeping in a tent or just in our sleeping bags in parks, vineyards, forests and river banks works perfectly fine
People are mostly very helpful indicating us the way and possible camping hide outs, providing us with tap water and nibbles as well as at times ice cream, pizza, dinner and breakfast
These encounters enlighten our voyage and make sure that we never get into a monotonous routine.
