Cold Weather

 Today the temperature was very low between 7-10oC, with strong winds and partly showers. 

We drove 135km with 1700 altitude meters. For me it was very exhausting and my legs were very tired. 

Finally we made it and again Alois drove with us the last 40km (therefor he did 80km...).

We are now in the middle of nowhere with no Hotels nor Camping places. Alois found a good place just in front of a local swimming place in Morón de Almazár.   

We used Frank for tonight. We had all shower with Frank and Alois cooked noodles with sauce. 

For tomorrow morning the forecast is 3oC...

Short comment: the Garmin view is for the ride in the morning and the other one fo the afternoon.

    Ups, dass es in Spanien Anfang Mai noch so kühl ist hätte ich auch nicht erwartet. Aktuell ist halb Schweden noch schneebedeckt, also gut auf eure Jacken aufpassen, die braucht ihr vielleicht noch..., aber ist ja noch eine Weile hin...

  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

Malaga

 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!
