What a day. We woke up in Germany and we\u2019re going to bed in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s so confusing being in Germany after all this time in France. I\u2019m bonjouring when I should be morganing, I\u2019m merci-ing then realising my mistake I say bitte when I should be saying danke. I\u2019m all over the place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a crappy old day today. The ride started out quite nice following a gravel path alongside the Rhine river. Mike put up his drone and got a photo of us riding alongside the river. When we stopped and looked back, a passenger jet was heading straight for our drone! Okay it\u2019s not as bad as it sounds. It was way below where the jet was and we brought it down straight away. But we were well over 8 kms from an airport so technically we were okay to fly it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a hot day with very little shade for most of it. 34 degrees and humid and it was hard work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are now following Eurovelo 15 which follows the Rhine to Rotterdam. So far it is nowhere near as good as the Loire route we were following. There were times the route had us cycling on main roads with trucks barrelling past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a long day of cycling in the heat, we stopped after 60kms at a cheap campground in France, half the price of last nights and not as crowded. This will be our last day in France as we head into Germany tomorrow. Just as well too as it\u2019s Bastille day tomorrow and everything will be shut. Hopefully things will be open in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re just at camp setting up our tent and we\u2019re sweating like little piggies. The guy next to us is huffing and puffing and blowing his air bed up. Now I just need a house made out of gingerbread and I\u2019ll officially be in a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s it, and happy wordle-ing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
