Bordeaux

 Started from the closed Camping Place early at 8:30am in Pissos. For about 50km we were driving through different pinien forest on a great paved cycle path. This was very nice and fast. We only saw 10 cyclists during this time.

Before we drove through Bordeaux we saw a few great looking vineyards.

Driving through Bordeaux was not as bad as we thought. Nearly all streets had cycle pathes and it was feeling quite save. Except one time when Stefan saw the Bus very late and he couldn't stop that fast. Even worse he had difficulties to come out of his pedals. The bus driver was able to stop immideately and it seems that all passengers were looking - but Stefan was not falling down.... we call it a near accident.

Alois had again problems to find Hotels or Camping places. Either they were closedor full. Finally we parked at the Sport Center of a small town called Baignes-Saint-Radegonde. We had shower with Frank and cooked as well. It started to rain heavily and this is as well the forecast for tomorrow...

    Die Situation mit Stefan und dem Bus scheint ja ganz schön knapp gewesen zu sein. So etwas hat wahrscheinlich schon jeder, der mit Klickpedalen fährt, mal erlebt.

  This cycle path bollard finished our Gibraltar-Nordkap tour after 18 days and 2534km (47%) and 19,519 Altitude Meter (53%). Klaus touched this bollard with his handlebar and fell down to the street. I followed him closely and tried to avoid hitting him. The street curb finished my trial and touchdown was unavoidable. I hit the street with my helmet and right Clavicular (Schlüsselbein..). I can tell that Klaus and my helmet were broken, but our heads were both ok. Think about wearing your helmet always you ride a bike. It can save your life!! Medicus Klaus came pretty fast to the conclusion that my Clavicular was broken.  End of this story:  Ambulance came, brought me and Klaus to the Hospital (300m away) - after 3 hours we left the Hospital because no doctor was coming, drove to Edewecht and our house where Beate was waiting (now around midnight), took shower and went to bed. This morning Klaus and I went to the Hospital in Westerstede and we saw the doctor after 30 minutes. I need s

 It is already midnight and everybody else already went to sleep. Was a great day driving through Spain, crossing Barcelona, Valencia, Murcia, Granada and Malaga. We expirienced a great nature with never ending pistachio trees and yellow broom (Ginster). Alois used his ADAC knowledge and selected an excellent Camping Site close to Malaga and the Mediterranien Sea. Parking of an American size Campingcar on a spanish camping slot is a challenge without destroying the whole infrastructures like lanternes... Evening dinner was great, followed by a shower and last usage of Franks hydraulic to level out the car - fantastic feature!! We look forward for driving to the english landmark called Gibraltar.  See you tomorrow.

 We arrived in Cuidat Real this evening around 7pm. It was a long day with about 165km and again above 2000 altitude meters. Clearly we need to reduce the hours we sit on the bikes. Alois started with us for the first 35km and returned after to pick up Frank. He is doing very great and contributes always special photos. Stefan and I had the feeling to be on our MS150 tour from Houston to Austin today. Nice roads with soft up and down, straight 10  km long streets like in Texas or California - including fields of fantastic looking  bluebonnets right and left ( color is close but the flower is different...). We took a Hotel tonight as we needed a very long shower! Downtown was not impressive but food was good. See you tomorrow!
