Not a lot has happened today really, other than many motorway miles with more crazy German drivers 😅. We covered just 320km (200miles) but had decided we deserved a more relaxing evening and a chance to have a shower, chill in a nice space and do our video for YouTube. So we arrived at our final destination for the day at just 4.45 and I’m now lying on the bed waiting for the shower, bliss! Especially considering how much we both smell… Chez just came out of the shower and said she feels like shes shed pounds of dirty! 🤣

HIGHLIGHT - a lush Airbnb all to ourselves where we can get clean and organised and Chezs cute glasses and helmet face!
LOW POINT - driving around Hamburg, stressful!もっと詳しく

A long day today; approximately 450km or 280miles and I think we’re both now pretty tired. We set off from Harry and Dickies after a wonderful sleep and quite a long lie in with Donna and Lola, their dogs snuggled in with us. Dickie left us some breakfast before going for her daily walk on the beach so we packed up our bikes, ate some bread and cheese and drank some coffee in the sunshine before hitting the road.

Our first stop was Giethoorn in Holland where I sat and had more coffee with apple cake, listening to the wind in the leaves and the sun heating our backs. Then onward for many more motorway miles to reach Germany and our final destination just outside Bremen where we accidentally tried to join a naturist campsite and then found a quiet place next to a lake. We’re both pretty shattered now so looking forward to sleep! I’m also glad to say that my eye is feeling better, I removed a large amount of fluff from it this morning so I hope that has fixed it. Now my shoulder aches instead!

HIGHLIGHTS - changing from Dutch highways with a speed limit of 100km/h to the German autobahn’s where the “crazy cunts” go as fast as the want, often well over 180km/h; quite a shock!
LOW POINTS - feeling tired, hungry and thirsty when we finally reached the campsite at 7.30pm and then realising we needed to go to the shop to buy some foodもっと詳しく

“How many miles did you travel on your first day?” People would ask. “Oh, about 15km!” … but we have a reason. Of all the days to have a problem with your eye, today is the day! I woke up this morning with tiny spots of blood on my pillow and my eye irritated (it still hurts as I write this 😔) but we’ll get to that soon. We got off the ferry at 8am and were immediately integrated by a border guard, thanks Brexit. He asked where we were going, how long for and whether we had a return journey. We seemed to clear his questions and traveled to see Ted and Harry in Monster for some coffee.

Ted has covid but it was lovely to see Harry, Jim, Beau, Ed and even Pete dropped by! As the day wore on my eye became more painful until Harry suggested we go to the pharmacy and then later the doctor. They were excellent and prescribed me some eye meds to help soothe it and stop an infection. By the time we were done it was too late to ride and my eye was still sore so Harry and Dickie very kindly offered for us to stay at theirs for the night. We gratefully accepted and had a lovely evening exploring little Dutch villages, having dinner on the beach and walking along the shore.

What a lovely day! Now we are finally in bed and looking forward to tomorrow! Hopefully the eye will be held!

HIGHLIGHTS- a wonderful dinner and evening with Dickie and Harry
LOW POINTS - thinking I might have an eye infection and having a sore eyeもっと詳しく

Today is the day! The first day on our mega Europe Trip, it’s all very surreal today and nothing has sunk in but it’s fantastic to be riding together again after many of months of not seeing each other.

We’re on the ferry now, all snuggled up in our bunk beds, Chez is on bottom bunk and I’m on the top. The weather has been kind for our first day, not too hot and not too cold. After saying a big goodbye to Mama and Papa Chez and Dunphy, we hit the A roads to Harwich, 2 hours of fighting strong head winds and squaring off tyres on endless duel carriage ways.

Once at Harwich we found a pub with some lovely locals, a cozy place where it felt as though everyone knew each other. With our heavily laden bikes parked outside we had a quick drink before heading to the ferry.

Here’s to the beginning of our travels!

HIGHLIGHTS - a man from the local pub bowing at us after we told him that we would be travelling for 4 months, we made his night.
LOW POINTS - long A road duel carriageways with gusty windsもっと詳しく
