Day 11 - Happy Canada Day from Germany
Today is Canada Day so it is a day to celebrate for Canadians. We left Karlsruhe to ride to Ludwigshafen which is on the other side of the river from Mannheim. We started with a lovely 8km ride through the forest on what was likely the estate of the castle. It was a great way to start and we ended the day the same way. Along the way we found a lovely bakery for a quick stop and an apple turnover. Just after our stop we came across what I would call a stork nursery. There were at least 12 trees with nests on them, each with chicks in them. We also stopped in Speyer for a quick visit. Lastly we had a short ferry crossing to reach our destination.
