Along the coastline near Norden there are expansive beaches with a type of clay mud. It’s supposed to be good for the skin and body. Half expected to see people rolling in the stuff but after sinking deep into it I soon realised why this would not be a good idea. It smells pretty gross … Continue reading
Arriving in Norden after a day cycling in the sun and was welcomed by the cutest German couple ever. They were on bicycles too and spending some time together away after studying. We had a lovely evening – and even played dice (?) something I have never played before. The campingplatz was filled with other cyclists … Continue reading
Somethings that you may see on the coastal path in North West Germany…love these beach basket chairs – think they look dead romantic – perhaps reading a book together under a warm woollen blanket…bla bla blaa… having hot tea out of a flask…maybe some cheese and cucumber sandwiches – okay I’ll stop there!
It goes without saying that when on a bike tour there are many many days of smelling bad and today I cycled with a very kind couple from Switzerland, who cooked for me (I know – how lucky!) and I supplied the wine.

From the time spent in Germany so far, there have been many nice things to see and do and cycling along the Elbe – either side is an absolute pleasure. There are exquisite thatched cottages or mansions. There are delightful apples and cherry orchards and there are many many nice bakeries! The cycle pathways are … Continue reading

Aline and myself discussing (whilst in my treatment room). “wouldn’t it be cool to cycling along the Kiel together…lets do it!” A year later we finally cycled it together. It was such a great feeling to be there and with our ship alongside us. Guess I would have never embarked … Continue reading
I was fortunate to meet a kind and lovely couple in Henne (right at the beginning of my tour around Denmark). They are keen cyclists too and invited me to come stay when I reached the East coast of Denmark. Now I feel like I cycled some distance in the past few months, but this is nothing … Continue reading
….So a man passed me on the bike today and handed me some peas…awfully nice of him.
Since arriving in Denmark I have been treated to some exceptionally great weather. The schools are still out on vacation and I can’t help feel that everyday is a Sunday in Denmark. Nobody rushes, everyone seems to be just ‘pottering around’, its calm everywhere – just like Sundays.
These are officially my most favorite times of the day to be on the bike. It’s when the campsite kiddies are either waking or sleeping. It’s when a sense of calmness descends in the air. It’s when the colours of the landscape change. They are the best times of the day.
