The beginning was tough. Munich to Cologne, Germany was +1 and raining...for 500km. I was frozen solid. But the further south I went, the daytime riding temps have been mostly been around +10. Which for me is fine, I prefer the cooler days. I'll take +10 or +30 any day.
For accommodations I have been mostly couchsurfing. And when I couldn't find a couch, I would hit a hostel. My camping gear is with me, but I didn't bring a winter bag so the colder nights would be hell for me. I figure by April I'll be mostly camping. The lack of daylight hasn't been an issue. I actually get more daylight than I would this time of year in NY, so to me it's a bonus.
