Sadly we were only in Germany for one night. But next year, in the spring, we will be cycling across northern Germany on our way back to Leipzig. We hope to be able to see you in Vancouver in November. Love to all the family. Steve and Dodie

Hello Steve and Dodie, welcome in Germany. We follow your trip mostly. Your first part with your grandchildren was so beautiful. We are in the moment at the Baltica See. Have a good trip to Spain. In November we will stay some days in Vancouver. Best wishes from Birgit and Jürgen from Markranstädt 😃

I can’t wait to hear about your breakfast. Fingers crossed for you that it is a great one!

We will mark the next one down for you, promise.

Hey, I want one!

It was one of the first things I learned on a cycle trip in the Netherlands about 10 years ago.

I am glad I remembered!!

I am in Oldenburg, Germany now.. first day of partial sun in 12 days!!

Did not know that. How did you know?

It really was fun.

I know how to swim, I just am not at all keen on things on or around water.

The “ hedge in the air”, is a type of fly break. There are usually trees planted near a farm house window to keep the bugs away from the house.
If the hedge break is for another reason, I would like to know!

How fun!!

Especially if you don’t get along with your neighbors 😬

Tell Dodie I will teach her to swim if she will navigate a route for me !

Cannon loading was probably always a slow process, although the loaders probably improved with practice (if they didn't get blown up first). The noise was incredible. We can only imagine the horror of a battlefield with these things being fired off from both sides.

We tend to stumble across these kinds of events quite often. It is always a delightful surprise.
