Day 7 - Abternau Loop

At breakfast we were given the news that the dining room would be closed tonight so we would have to go elsewhere.  Honestly, I carefully research our hotels so that there are meals, this is the second time this trip, the last time the bar was closed as well !!
Onwards with the day.  The sky was grey and leaden, in fact it was drizzle/rain for about 80% of the day.  Fortunately the rain was not white and frozen this time. There were some good roads and a lot of busy ones.  One truck driver decided to have 2 attempted at killing me, the second time while re-overtaking me.  The few moments when the sun crept out and the roads dried transformed the riding, but those moments were fairly few and far between.
I almost caught dinner on the final stretch when a deer bounded in front of me on a mountain forest toll road.
Back at the deserted hotel, our room was entirely without light and power and no one to report it to.  Eventually, John discovered a master switch (one switch to rule them all......) and we were back in business.  (That would also explain why nothing charged while we were out eating and dining last night.  D'oh!)
