Day #12, August 22, 2013

It’s always a challenge to charge the mobile devices as a camper without motorhome or caravan. We used power sockets in restaurants, toilets or asked people on the camp-ground if we can refill the battery of our mobile phone, Garmin or iPad. Up to now somehow we managed this, because as a fallback I have a additional power pack with solar panel with me. But yesterday, close to our tents, we found a power distribution direct under a caravan ( where nobody stayed this time). This was the perfect opportunity to charge all electronic devices and batteries and so we are connected to the world.

We started the day very early and enjoyed a breakfast after 15km on the bike at EDEKA – good and cheap !

We found a nice place on a lake close to Augsburg to refill the carbohydrate storage. Ralf is calling this the second breakfast and its really necessary in order to have enough reserves for the day.

In the afternoon we arrived Landsberg am Lech – only 72km to Füssen, the final destination. Our company has a branch office in Landsberg and so I tried to reach my colleagues by phone. Within 30 minutes Gerhard came with his wife and son from his home to Landsberg.
Finally we got invited to a barbecue in the evening and we decided to stay in Landsberg on the camp ground.
The evening was really nice and Gerhard told me some secrets how to prepare the beef on a Weber grill with a delicious quality.
Petra, Gerhard – thank you for the hospitality and a unexpected surprise.

Tomorrow is the last day and we hope to arrive in a good condition in Füssen.

Day #11, August 21, 2013

Good start into the new day with a perfect sunrise and powerful breakfast in the camp- ground restaurant. As a further improvement we washed our clothes and put them in an dryer in order to have pleasant smelling and real dry shirts and pants on… As I said a great day!

Uwe sent me the aerial view from the camping ground

Next great surprise was the meeting with my colleagues Björn, Jakob & Björn on the route to Augsburg. They are the best support and motivation team – many thanks guys !

In the late afternoon we arrived in Donauwörth, enjoyed big cups of ice cream and than my colleagues went back by train to Stuttgart, because they are responsible that the business is running and my job keeps safe.

Again thank you for the great day

Finally together with Ralf I found a Italian restaurant where we got a good pizza, a vino rosso de la casa and a TV where we watched football – it’s so easy to make a man happy !
Now I am relaxing in my Blogging tent under very bright full moon and try to win the fight against the Mosquitos!
