Tag 4: Kollmar - Büsum, 93,41km, Fahrzeit 5:11, Durchschn. 17,97 km/h, Gesamtstrecke: 386 km Morgens im Zelt die Blog-Einträge der letzten beiden Tage vorbereitet, und erst um halb elf losgefahren. Gestern wurde mir gesagt, dass in Intzehoe auf jeden Fall ein Campingladen sei, und evtl. auch in Glückstadt. Itzehoe liegt mir ein bischen weit abseits des Wegs, aber über Glückstadt muss ich auf jeden Fall. Dort erstmal für's Frühstück eingekauft, und dann eine halbe Stunde erfolglos nach einem Campingladen gesucht. Eine Suche bei google (schön wenn man ein internetfähiges Handy hat...) zeigt einen Eintrag für Brunsbüttel, dem nächsten grösseren Ort auf dem Weg. In Brunsbüttel dank Google und GPS die Adresse schnell in einem Industriegebiet am Ortsrand gefunden, dort ist aber nur ein Festzeltverleih. Man kann erahnen, wie Google die Assoziation zu Camping hingekriegt hat, ... read more

Day 4: Kollmar - Büsum, 93,41km, cycling time 5:11, average 17,97 km/h, total: 386 km In the morning after waking up I prepare the blog entries for the last two days (for my german blog). I get on the road at half past ten. Yesterday I was told there was a camping store in Itzehoe, and maybe one in Glückstadt. Itzehoe is a bit off my route, but I have to ride through Glückstadt anyways, Here I get something for breakfast, then I spend 30 minutes looking for the camping store without finding anything, A google search (nice to have a mobile phone with internet connection) I find nothing for Glückstadt, but on entry for Brunsbüttel, the next larger town on the route, In an industrial area in the outskirts of Brunsbüttel I quickly find ... read more

My trip to Europe began a little rough when my plane was delayed in Nashville because of storms in the midwest in particular in Chicago. This would not be a problem except fot the fact that my plane was coming from Chicago. So therefore my plane was delayed by an hour and a half.....causing me to miss my plane to Franfurt. Thankfully there were two other United flights leaving from Dulles that night, except the one at 6.50 was full, so I had to take the 9.48 flight. My orginal flight left at 5.16 from Dulles so i had to wait in Dulles for a few hours where I spoke with a retired army guy who was going to China who lived in PA. What else was I going to do? :) It really was not ... read more

Die Familie, aber, nur die Eltern. Mom, you asked for pictures of my host family so today while I was making Erdbeernmarmalade with my host mom I decided to take a few. And on another note: Strawberry Jam is so GOOD! My host mother is very sweet, and we were sharing a mother-daughter moment in the kitchen, she thought it was so funny that I was interested in helping make the jam because her husband and kids all love to eat it but hate cooking it.... read more

Munich is great city. I started Munich full of worry that the rain would destroy my one day there. Seriously The rain is following me. It rained in Vienna, all 3 days in Hallstatt, in Munich, and even now in Interlaken it's raining. Enough already! But the walking tour (neweuropetours.eu) still went even with the rain, and my lovely Broken Umbrella (TM) is still going strong, so no stupid rain is gonna stop me ;) The tour is great, as it's purely tip-based and therefore requires the guides to be excellent in order for them to make moneys. And I tipped the guy twice what I had originally planned, the the half-scot half-kiwi was definitely good. We started at the new town hall, with it's apparently famous Glockenspiel (which was underwhelming but I guess charming). The ... read more

Guten Tag alles!! Je suis presentement a Cologne, Deutschland. Alors ici c'est la grosse vie sale. Je couche dans le salon sur un matelas dans l'appartement de Lucas. J'ai rien fait les 2 premiers jours de mon arrivee, juste vedger et me reposer (je ne m'etais toujours pas reposer depuis la fin de session ahah). J'ai retrouver mes petits Brötchens (petits pains allemands que trop bons!!). Chaque jour je me leve et je vais a la Bäckerei en acheter. J'achete du bon fromage et du prosciutto, des pommes, du lait 3.5%, bref je me gave et je vais devenir vraiment fat. Lucas est arriver samedi (jai ete accueilli par son coloc Jonas pour les premiers jours). On est sorti dans un bar and got drunk. Dimanche j'ai finalement vu Anne (une allemande qui a aussi fait ... read more

Dy 3: Haue - Kollmar, 109,63 km, cycling time 6:42, average 16,32 km/h, total: 292 km Despite the deflated sleeping pad I have slept well. The weather is nice again, too. The tent is dry on the outside, But the outer tent is wet on the inside, it probably needs better ventilation. I can't do anything about that right now, so the tent is packed wet, In the next village I buy things for my breakfast, then I take the ferry back to the nothern bank of the Elbe, Here the route heads to Hamburg via Moorfleet, Riding the recumbent bike in Hamburg itself is no fun. Several times I lose the signed route, have to carry my heavily loaded bike through underpasses and over construction sites, Without my GPSr, which brings me back on the ... read more

3. Tag: Haue - Kollmar, 109,63 km, Fahrzeit 6:42, Durschn. 16,32 km/h, Gesamtstrecke: 292 km Trotz kaputter Isomatte habe ich einigermassen gut geschlafen. Das Wetter ist wieder schön. Das Zelt ist zwar aussen trocken, aber das Aussenzelt ist innen feicht, warscheinlich Kondensation. Irgendwie muss das Zelt wohl besser belüftetet werden. Kann man jetzt nichts machen, wird erstmal feucht eingepackt. Im Nächsten Dorf für's Frühstück eingekauft, dann mit der Fähre wieder auf die nördliche Elbseite. Hier geht es über Morfleet nach Hamburg. Hamburg selbst macht mit dem Liegerad nicht so richtig Spass. Immer wieder verliere ich den ausgeschilderten Radweg, muss mit dem schwer beladenen Rad durch Unterführungen (mit Treppe) und über Baustellen. Ohne GPS, das mich immer wieder auf die richte Strecke führt, hätte ich noch mehr Probleme gehabt. Ich ignoriere alle Hamburger Sehenswü... read more

So far the best €6 I have spent was today on the tour at BMW. Went through their production facilties, seeing how things on 3 series cars progress from the start when steel is delivered as rolls, through different stages, finishing with testing the car on the dyno. Took a couple of hours and the guide was pretty funny, with a dry sense of humour and Austrian accent. Well worth the money. Checked out the Olympic sie was I was out there, pretty ordinary stadium by today's standards, didnt bother with the tower as it was a bit cloudy and the view wouldve been crap. Didnt get up to much else today, things were closed by then. Had dinner at the Augustiner beer hall near Marienplatz (the Hofbrau was full of tourists), talking to some American ... read more

Day 2: Uelzen - Haue, 104,56 km, cycling time 6:37, average 15,77 km/h The weather has cleared up, but the tent is still wet when I pack it. I wake up with a heavy headache, probably due to the weather. I ride parallel to the B2 to Bad Bevensen. Here I make a stop in a pharmacy to get some headache pills. I think I have some packed somewhere, but I don't want to dig through all my bags on the road, My headaches seem to be obvious, because in the pharmacy I am asked whether I want to take a pill right away. I want. From Bad Bevensen I ride along the Else-Seitenkanal to Lauenburg, Here I join the Elberadweg, a cycling route along the river Elbe, which I followed last your up the river ... read more
