I camped last night at a place called Beringerzand. I think in the summer it would be heaving and jammed packed, but at this time of year I just about had it to myself – of course this meant just about everything was closed.
Anyway, today I was due to cross the border into Germany sometime after passing thru Venlo. It was a anti climax, I didn’t even realise I had, until my phone pinged with messages telling me I was roaming in Germany.
After the flatness of Holland I even had to climb a hill, well it wasn’t exactly a hill, more of a rise in the road followed by a slope down again.
The most excitement I’ve had was in Düsseldorf, I was sitting on a park bench figuring out my next stop when a group of men, in need of dental surgery and somewhat well lubricated decided I might be of interest. As it turned one of them turned out to love Lord of the Rings and wanted to go to Hobbiton so I went on my way and they took over the park bench.
Tomorrow I head up the Rhine toward Bonn, Not sure how far I will go as rain is forecast for most of the day.
