Hamburg Harbour Cruise
15. juli 2024, Tyskland ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Today is a rest day.
This morning a harbour cruise, organised by the Tour, happens in lovely sunshine.
Hamburg is a deep, very busy harbour. Like Antwerp it is on very big rivers that flow out to sea many miles away.
Hamburg is still very tidal though.Læs mere

Another day in the van with Jorg. Decided not to ride today, tomorrow is a rest day so give it 2 more days.

As it turns out it was a wise decision, the German bike paths are not good. Bumpy and unsafe.
As it turns out, my roomie Alison came off her bike metres from the hotel! It rained, she was on a road bike with thin tyres on cobblestones and went down. Lots of bruising, she hit her head so they took her to hospital for x-rays. She's ok. She's still recovering from getting knocked off her bike 6 months ago in Melbourne and ending up under a tram!!!Læs mere

In the van again with Anje today. Lots of support needed today. Minor collision, flat tyre.

Pretty countryside.

Wedding party being transported in the bucket of a tractor with the local fire brigade waiting to spray them or make a water tunnel thing (?)

Apparently the bike paths in Germany are not good, wouldn't be good for my foot. Still a bit rainy also.

When we got to Bremen, there was time to explore the old town square. Thankfully, only a few metres from the hotel.

Tea together in a tiny restaurant.Læs mere

Over the border to Cloppenburg
12. juli 2024, Holland ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
I'm back in the van again with Sonja. Woke up not being able to walk on it and feeling like a big lump is under my outer foot. I make myself put weight on it after I've put my good supportive shoe on.
I hobble down with crutches to breakfast, but when I get up from breakfast it feels a bit easier to walk on.

Today is 105 km day mostly in the rain, so again I'm happy to support the support van driver 😉.

Throughout the day, I've been able to walk short distances without crutches!!! I have a theory the outer bone of my midfoot may have been dislocated and it or a part of it has gone back in!! I hope so. It's now just sore and not excruciating.

We get into Cloppenburg. The riders are cold and wet.

For dinner we have to walk "7 minutes", "no actually it's only 3 minutes". Turns out we walk about a km to find the place!! My foot with crutches can handle that,but I couldn't yesterday!!

We have a lovely traditional German meal in a restaurant in the middle of the Open-air museum. I did actually want to see that! 🤣 Looks like they're also setting up for a fair for the weekend too.
Jorg felt guilty about making me and another fellow rider with a dodgy knee walk so far so he taxi'ed us back.Læs mere

I'm in the van today with Jorg, I can't weightbear on my foot. Along the way he finds me some crutches to buy. They help a lot.

Today is a lovely sunny day and only 76 km. I still enjoy the scenery in the van.

When we get to Coevordon I take my crutches and walk the short distance into the town square, have an ice-cream, buy some sunnies (I lost mine in the crash) and walk back. Still very painful but do-able.

Dinner together in the hotel.Læs mere

First day riding to Kampen
10. juli 2024, Holland ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Up and at 'em and ride off with the Alltrails cycling group out of Amsterdam. I'm on a red e-bike and I like it.
I find 2 others to ride with and all is great.
15 km out, on the outskirts of Amsterdam I get bumped off my bike by a car at the lights. I end up on his bonnet, fall into the road onto my upper back. I roll into a ball and bounce a bit. I'm amazed I came out of it ok. A sore right elbow and a sore right outer foot.

I get up and I feel ok. The driver makes sure I'm ok and when a few other riders gather around he drives off.

I get back on my bike ride another 30km to a lunch spot. The foot is sore but feels better on the bike. It's painful to walk on though. It's been drizzling a bit so I decide to get in the support van at lunch so people can stop worrying about me. Then it buckets down so good timing!!
I can barely walk the 500m to the van.
We put an ice pack on it and I stick it up on the dashboard. It's throbbing!!

We get to Kampen and I'm in a bnb, ground floor, thankfully.
I spend the rest of the afternoon and evening on the bed with my foot bandaged and up on pillows. One of the guides Jorg, brings me pizza for tea. I watch the Netherlands vs England soccer game on TV. Apparently there's 3000 people in town watching it on an outdoor screen.
I also find a couple of English speaking shows.Læs mere

Walking food tour and canal cruise
9. juli 2024, Holland ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
Today I meet up with the cycling tour people. I'm joining on Stage 2.
1 person is leaving from Stage 1 (Paris to Amsterdam) and 4 of us are joining. I now have a roommate Alison from Melbourne.
This hotel is not funky, it's a bit flash.

This is a rest day for Stage 1. Those who want to can go on a food walking tour and a canal boat cruise. I go on that. Wasn't expecting the walking, I thought the food was on the cruise.

It was good though. We walked around the streets with a guide and ate traditional Dutch food from shops on the street.

On the cruise we saw the "dancing houses", yes the houses are indeed on a lean.

A 3 hour tour turned out to be 5.

Back at the hotel, us newbies got an orientation and bike fitting.
Then tea at the hotel then bed.Læs mere

Walk to find a Post Office
8. juli 2024, Holland
After the bike ride I had some lunch, then walked about a km to find a Post Office that had a good google review for being helpful. Lots had bad reviews.
It was worth the walk as the guy at the counter was super helpful, was easy to post a box of the souvenirs and chocolates back to Steve. Weight I don't have to carry around.
It was only 35 Euro, with tracking, it's often more expensive than that!

I then had a nice walk back, saw a market, pretty streets.
Found a street that was pretty well dedicated to getting high and sex.
This is Amsterdam!!
I don't need to buy any cannibas, just walking around the streets smelling other people's is enough!!Læs mere

Looking forward to a piece of that chocolate! [Mum]
