Rainy Day

 Interesting. Overnight we parked Frank in front of a children school area. When we started in the morning to prepare our bikes, more and more cars were parking around us. Like we saw in Spain and probably the same is valid for Germany - parents were driving their kids to school.... finaly no problem for Alois and Frank to leave that place later.

For us it was a very wet day. It was raining until 1pm before we could undress our rain pants. Everything was pretty wet.

We did again 150km with 1300 altitude meters. Because of the weather we arrived late at 7pm at our planned location in Verriéres. We choose a Hotel night for today to get our clothes dry. 

Our hope is that we have better weather tomorrow.

One more - at Bordeaux train station we changed our Komoot map from Gibraltar - Bordeaux to Bordeaux - Enschede. Next target is now on our map/Garmin.

Finally we had one other pedal out miss with body street touch and no injury.

    Mit dem Wetter habt ihr bisher nur Pech gehabt. Aber für die nächsten Tage sind die Vorhersagen für Frankreich gut.

  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!
