I have a touring bicycle!

I went with Jeannette and bought a Dutch touring bicycle today. It's quite comfortable, with a Brooks saddle from England, mudguards, cable and tire lock, rack, quite nice. So I'll bicycle west to Harlingen, then back, then to Stuttgart tomorrow. It's closer as a crow flies to Barth, but not as a train goes, through the border to Germany from here has only 3 trains per day and they are not the high speed ones. It's cloudy now but very comfortable.

  1. Cheerio, chap, shop , stall and all those good British words that Dad used to say! Pip, pip! Lord bless you and be safe. Cherish each minute, breath in that fresh air deeply and Praise the LORD! I love to read your writing of the countryside...I can almost see it with you.

    Lots of love,
    Kimberlee and crew

  2. Keep up the great job of having a blast! Scope it out real well, take good notes and maybe if you decide to revisit again, you might have a fellow traveler next time. Good thing about that is you'll have learned the good & not so good about the whole thing and will benefit next trip. (So would I if I were to go along...!)
    Have fun!
    Love ya,

    Ken
