Day 9 Kahl am Main - Reicholzhein

Onwards up the River Main to Aschaffenburg, fairly flat agricultural land passing through lots of fields of wheat and Maize.  Stopped at Aschaffenburg (20 miles) for breakfast and to buy a new phone!  Carried on into a bit of a headwind to Miltenburg for lunch (sausages again!)
After this the valley got narrower and steeper again, the Main although much smaller than the Rhine is still navigable by the big barges and cruise ships, although they need to use a series of huge lock gates to get up stream.
At Wertheim we turned off the Main and headed south again stopping off at Reicholzhein.  Tomorrow we head off towards the "Romantic Road". So far we've only gone up 2 hills so we're a bit nervous of how the legs will cope when asked to do some climbing. 
Miles today 74
Miles total 538
Sausages eaten - dozens!
