Goodbye Germany

  Special News: no flat tire and power connection is still working!!!! Finished Germany and entered Denmark. Starting point (A): Camping Platen, Sehlendorf Ending point (B): Ore Strandcamping, Vordingborg Tried to get the ferry from Puttgarden to Rodbyhavn early. Started 6:28 am and met with Alois and Frank at Burg on the Island Fehmarn before catching the ferry. We bought several items at the Edeka Center for our trip to the North.  Especially alcoholica are very expensive in the northern countries.  Today we did about 120km with 60km on the Denmark side. Here we had very favorable wind and drove an average speed of 27km/h. Remarkable with Gravelbikes and driving through several small cities and crossing huge bridges. We had great barbecue tonight made by our chief cooks Stefan and Alois!! Was a nice day with good temperature around 20oC. Now it started to rain.. This is including ferry km...                     Looking f...

Power down

  Special News:   Again one flat back tire from Klaus - small piece of glass was the reason.  Again we went up early for our 118km ride today. Temperature was more than 10 degree lower than the day before. Just right for a good bike tour. Arrived at the Camping site around 1pm. Like yesterday, Alois did 60km. When we prepared Frank for today, the stationary  power fuse went on and disconected us from the power supply. It took us 3 hours to find a broken cable or equipment - with no success. Professor Beierke did an authem job going through all possible cases. Finally we gave up and rebuild the original configuration. Since we did this, the power connection is working properly - an engineering mystery!! For dinner we went to the beach having a Chicken Teriyaki. Was looking better than it tasted... Bed time was 10 pm and my friends are already snorkling...  Good Night!!
