Lilienthal

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 foodBaca lagi
