Today was another, albeit warmer, in between day. I left the campsite in good time (again, not the last cyclist) and hit the tarmac. 30k in, with my planned stop proving to be not what I hoped, I was toiling. It was a little hotter than planned.
I stopped at a Shelterplatz for a picnic and, enjoying the shade I decided to hang around for a while. I put the kettle on, did a bit of knitting, had a doze and generally relaxed for a couple of hours. Quite honestly, if the water situation wasn’t so dire I’d have stayed the night.
Picnicking done well
Hotter than planned means I didn’t have enough water on me and so I made supermarket stop two, this time to buy a couple of big bottles of water. With the help of juice, chocolates, water and strawberries I was revitalised for the second half of the day.
I made my way up and over a peninsular, then over a big bridge then up and down to the campsite. The last 20k were like sailing along on an electric bike. No head wind, slight downwards incline.
Museum and ferry tomorrow.
