Bavarian or Reich's money, which will yield, as
nearly as the intricacies of German coinage will allow of the
calculation, fifteen shillings and fourpence. The fare by railway from
Munich to Augsburg, our next station, was one gulden, twenty-four
kreutzers,--two shillings and fourpence,--and from the latter fine old
city we proceeded entirely on foot to Strassburg. We took the road
through Ulm, Stutgard, Heilbron, Heidelberg, Manheim, Carlsruhe,
Baden-Baden, and Keil; wandering a little from the beaten path near
Kissengan to see the beautiful waterworks and garden there. These cities
have all been described by innumerable travellers, and I doubt whether I
could add anything to the knowledge already possessed of them.

We had passed fifteen days upon the road, and traversed a distance,
roughly estimated, of two hundred and fifty miles. We rested in all four
days in the towns of Augsburg, Ulm, Heidelberg, (of glorious
recollection), and Carlsruhe; and thus, during the ten days of actual
tramp, we had advanced at an average rate of twenty-five miles a day.
Since leaving Vienna, we had walked five hundred miles. On one occasion
only did we march more than thirty miles in the day. This was between
Stutgard and Heilbron. As we limped wearily through the latter city, we
came upon a tavern at the sign of the Eagle, and inquiring, like cautious
travellers, the price of a bed, we found it was twelve kreutzers Reich's
money, fourpence. This was beyond our mark, so we tottered onward to the
Stag, where we were very indifferently lodged for half the money. At
Heidelberg we paid twelve kreutzers for our bed, and were well
accommodated; but this was more by four kreutzers than we considered
ourselves in a position to pay. Our average expenses per day, while on
tramp at this period, were twenty-four kreutzers, or eightpence. My
total outlay from Munich to Strassburg was twenty-one florins, ten
kreutzers, or one pound five shillings; being at the rate of one shilling
and sixpence a day.

It may be right to mention, that a German mile is divided into two
stunden, or hours, and the natural inference would be, that it would
occupy two hours to walk a mile. This is not the case, for a stunden can
generally be traversed in three quarters of an hour; but the German miles
are not uniform, and I well remember one terribly long one between Brunn
and Vienna, which was more than two hours walk. As three English miles
an hour is an av
