Well… Today should have been a pleasant, relaxing ride along the Rhine towards France. The weather was good, the campsite last night was the best so far with plenty of hot water and a large area just for two of us bicyclists. But…. I think the impact of the last 900 kms was begining to take it’s toll plus rarely did I see the Rhine for more than a few kilometres. Generally most of the cycling (about 70 kms) was on perfect bike paths but boring!! This picture below could have been anywhere on the ride today. Tiredness and aching muscles have hit.
So tomorrow I shall just rest the legs a bit and only go as far as Strasburg.
It is a bit funny but being in France is almost comforting. It seemed that no one in Germany spoke any English and I spoke even less German so conversation was difficult even with Google Translate. I have had conversations in which I hadn’t the slightest idea of what was said. But now I can again converse and understand signs, people and even stuff in Supermarkets!
