Havelberg to Struppen

A long one today but we’ve had good energy levels and managed to do 300km after leaving at about 11.30. Haven’t touched a single autobahn on the way down through Germany either! We carried on following the Elbe river down on Woodys route part 2 and are now just 30 mins from the Czech border 😝

There are some wonderful towns and cities in Germany if you stay off the main roads, two wonderful ones today have been Tangermunde, where we stopped for lunch, with lovely old churches and beautiful buildings and Dresden, a city full of culture and picturesque streets. I would love to revisit it again one day.

Now snuggled up in my toasty sleeping bag, looking forward to exploring Little Switzerland and the Bikers Cave tomorrow!

HIGHLIGHT - long ride that we didn’t think we’d manage, lunch in Tangermunde
LOW POINT - panicking that we hadn’t booked a campsite at 8.10pm
