Day 3

-
Only 150 miles today because we wanted to have an easy day with regard to mileage. The plan is to navigate across the bottom of Germany before turning North into Czech Rep and Poland.
Today we have visited Lake Tittisee 🤣
Now holed up at a Motel in Ravensburg ready to walk into town and find something to eat.
One delicious burger and several beers later and it was back to the hotel where we had a conversation with a very drunk and high drug dealer who proceeded to show us photos of his marajuana crop and bemoan his life.
I also liberated from the roadside a fallen Ausfart sign which will be returning to blighty in the top box.

Our route so far..... This morning was a fast exit because of impending rainstorms. We hightailed it to Stalag Luft III in Poland to visit the site of the RAF's and others mass escape from a German POW camp. Then into Zagen to pay our respects at the camp cemetery and memorial to the men who "were shot trying to esape" Our next target is Colditz so plan to find some accommodation not too far away. Ended up in an old (1732) inn at Burgstadt and after a pizza, a couple of beers and early night ready for Colditz in the morning.

Not much too say about the journey home, left in the rain and arrived home in the rain. A good breakfast from Thierry at L'Echappe this morning, perhaps a little too much coffee with all the rain I've seen today. Managed to stickerbomb the Eurotunnel bike park. Overall it's been another fantastic tour totalling around 3000 miles and 5 countries, 3 of them new to me. Poland, Czech Republic and the Netherlands. Let me know in the comments if you've enjoyed reading this blog as the app doesn't tell me how many, if any, have even read anything. Until the next one, adieu. 🏍

Great start to the day with breakfast laid on by Annette. Consisting of jams, bread, croissant, cheese, ham, coffee and orange juice. Even the dog had some. We knew it may be a wet ride today so took our time, trying to dodge the drops by visiting a few Great War cemeteries and a museum. If you get the chance, visit the museum at Fromelles (Thorpe Wood) at 5 euros per adult it was very well worth it and underlines the futility of the sacrifice all those brave young men made. On leaving the museum, the rain started coming down so we took refuge in a McDonald's where we bumped into an odd Scottish biker spending a month in Europe, sleeping behind bus shelters. When the rain gave way it was off to Hazebrouck for a look around and a lunchtime beer at the Cafe de Paris. Some very strange folk frequenting that place, a strange woman singing away as if no-one else was there. After some food shopping we left for Thierrys place which we stayed at last year, once agai...
