Nearly Home

Yesterday I broke my A road rule and propelled myself the whole way from the Czech border to near Hamburg. Very uninspiring, all those German lorries, but the thought of seeing my girl again, filled me with much excitement and I just have to go fast.

I started a bit of A roading towards the end of my trip as brain exhaustion came in to play. 60mph down an A road is great for waking me back up. I then decided I did not want to arrive In Hamburg, exhausted, so found myself a B&B on route.

The GPS soon found me one, situated in a large horse stable type complex, my head started to wander about what was in sore when I arrived. I was thinking 'Jilly Cooper' but what I was confronted with was an extra from 'The Munsters'. I was greeted by 'Hermon Munster' and showed to my room in the stables. Without meaning to sound like a piss taking Englander, I was shown great Hospitality from this family and I was even invited to join them for dinner. They also made me a great breakfast this morning, all for the pittance of 33e.

Onwards and upwards to Hamburg now. Around 150~200km. Not so far. See the wife and take my next biking escapade from there.

Stay tuned, more to come.
