Many positive things can be reported: My sunscreen will last longer. Today it was completely dust-free. Not much water comsumption. Nearly always tailwind. The bicycle works great. The chocolate doesn't melt. I had a reason to visit a cafe more often. On the other side it rained the whole day somtimes more,sometimes less, but not as heavily as yesterday. I could cover the baggage just in time (from the beginning), therefore nearly all things remained dry. I only had to blow-dry shoes and socks and also the gloves and the headband. They were very helpful while the temperature was between 4 and 6°C (40 °F). However you can't drive long distances in such weather conditions. Therefore I took a campground already after 117 km. It was along the way, appr. 20 km south of Büdingen. Here in the camping restaurant I got a good schnitzel and can write my report. For this night they predicted frost. I barely can believe it for it is still raining. I'll see. And yes - sending of messages ("contact me") is now working. |
