In the official paper with information from our village government, they had an advertisement, showing off a trailer for a bicycle, which you can pull along on tours. The big advantage: you can just crash at the roadside when you are tired, grab some sleep and coutinue. Not so easy with a tent – that’s forbidden. So I booked one…
Just a few pics – GORUCK and Anomaly. This entry comes super late, so I just didn’t have writing time.
Oh yeah. Last year. Kind of I feel that I have picked up all the travels which I missed out on the year before. I was in a lot of new places. Saw new places, regions, countries. First time ever in Norway. Learning about this world, cycling over borders. Starting post-pan-Europe bikepath cycling. But I also am observing our world.…
Yet another destination this Summer. Or – Fall, but it sure felt like Summer. Wading in the Mediterranian Adria, barefeet, for long times – even swimming there… Sun. Heat. yeah that’s still Summer. We planned this trip with the whole family – even this time our youngest could take off work and come. And a beautiful trip it was but…
Another Flix bus trip for yet another ingress event. And yet another anomaly which was interesting – we did lose again – and again in Europe. But then – cycling through Reims, incoming town I rode through areas which were definitely inhabited by the poorer part of the population. Their TGV station is way out of town so I covered…
There’s a song by Manfred Siebald – him asking her if she’s really really going away on travels again. Somehow this Summer feels like that. I have booked a trip with my sister – elective sister. This time it is not Vlissingen. This time it is Ambleteuse, France. Just because we stumbled through the maps of various apartment rentals along…
So, first post-paneurope trail done They are different, somehow – while Paneuropa wasn’t marked everywhere, same as Eurovelo 12, the px was more accurate with Paneuropa. Long diagonal lines when there are actually curvy streets – that does confuse. Especially when checking all the time if I am still on track.That was super annoying. And does delay for it falsifies…
Most direct way. Flix to Berlin then to Heidelberg, then a train to Kronau. The second bus was crowded but at least not as hypnotic green. And in the first bus I was allowed to get off the bus onto the ferry – for the time we were on water. And there was a Starbucks… Before entering the second bus…
My Resistance friend who already had made it to Gothenburg wrote, that he’d in Gothenborg this evening, still. I was a bit in between maximizing bike distance and visiting and actually seeing the city of Gothenborg. So I decided for the sevond, especially after my landlord in the Stromsted-suburb had told me that there was a train from Stromsted Station…
So I had a good night’s sleep. The motel did offer breakfast, and by then I also had payment down (the lady at the reception had a bit trouble with the EC card reader). For some reason the hotel owners did not want me to eat frogs for breakfast….. Rygge, the town where I had stayed is not really large…
