Day #4 – August 14,2013

By the way-as a birthday present I got a special camping lantern from my boys and this is a really good tool to manage everything, including blogging (find the glasses and the iPad ) in the tend – thanks guys!

The day starts very good, means perfect breakfast at the camp ground and a positive weather forecast, but…. I packet all my rain protection wear in the water resident bag (you know this yellow monster from my pictures) and after 2hours on the bike we had incredible cloudburst and got wet from head to the feed. But this was not the most worst situation … I took the wrong direction, went back 10km to the north and recognized this in a bakery where we enjoyed a coffee and dried our closes. My explanation : the compass had a malfunction due to the wet environment condition – maybe it’s only a excuse, because it was my own failure I think so.
Rest of the day was perfect – nice countrysides and the typical north environment, means huge farms and cows, sheeps, horses on big willows and so much space … unbelievable
Especially the “Lüneburger Heide” I like so much, because its so different compared to our territory where I live ( and lived)

After 92km today we arrived at a camp ground which is more or les a “all inclusive camping amusement park” – its not my favorite but they have a hot shower and a restaurant where you get spaghetti and weizen beer – finally a acceptable place.

I am using the trailer also for carrying empty beer bottles – allround tool

Tomorrows target is the region around Hannover – lets see if weather and personnel conditions will permit this , because my hamstring(Achillissehne) make some trouble ..

  1. Kalispera Volker, hope you are ok after that much km. This is a very good preparation for the tennis camp next year 😉 . Ulli + I will drive to North Germany tomorrow and Iam looking forward. I had so much sun on the courts this year + enjoy every shadow now 🙂 . We will pick up Nils end of August before he starts his first trip from Shanghai. Ulli will tell you more in September. Bye Niko

  2. Hallo Bruder, das hört sich alles recht spannend an. Lasst euch von Wetter und kleinen Umwegen nicht ärgern, das gehört dazu. Aber wäre ein nettes Hotelzimmer nicht auch mal nett?
    Warten mit Spannung auf weitere Tourenberichte, vielleicht mit kurzen deutschen Untertiteln für deinen Vater!! Weiter viel Spass und halte durch!!!!
