Well, its taken me a while to get this blog going - but finally I've found one nof these internet cafes that are supposed to be everywhere!
Day One - Was a big day - about 90 km to get through Rotterdam. Got to a place in the middle of nowhere where EVERYTHING was closed cos it was Sunday. The pubs would have been closed too if there had been any pubs - but in Ottoland the Amish are alive and praying.
Day Two -Got a really early start - weather is great (bit nippy but sunshine) did 66km into a bloody strong headwind and arrived near a place called Zaltbommel.
Day Three - Tried to find a place to camp in Nijmegen but had to go about 8km out of town - found a fantastic little place good campsite - free hot showers and a pub and nice restaurant in the village! I'm only 3km away from the German border.
Day Four- Still battling Eastwards against a strong NNE wind. At least it is fine and sunny and it is starting to warm up. There have been some nice towns along the way particularly Kleve and Kalkar
Day Five
Cycled early doors the 45km to Rheinberg and got to the station by 10am. Caught the train to bypass the industrial Duisberg/Dusseldorf area and got into Cologne mid affy. Found a cheap Hotel in the town centre and went out on the razzle (well I had a couple of beers and a Wienerschnizel)
I've taken loads of pics but you`ll have to wait til I get back cos I cant work this computer thingy!
