Paris

 After another ride of 145km we arrived at 5pm at the Camping place near Mondeville, which is south of Paris and part of the Parc Natural Régional du Gätinais Français. 

The weather was good with 12oC in the morning moving to 20oC over the day. Headwind did not help though and makes it more difficult to reach the day target faster or make more km over the day. 

Alois came with us in the morning and returned after 35km one way. This means he did again impressive 75km today. I think he is already loosing weight...

Our statistic Professor Dr. Beierke from the Statistik Bundesamt gave us again a few insides: after now 14 days of bike ride we are 35km short of our Komoot goal as of today of 1885km. We did 34% of our km and impressive 44% of our altitude meters. We probably need another 2 days to leave France and enter Belgium.

Not many photos today...

    Finde es beeindruckend, dass Alois nebenbei noch so viel Kilometer mit dem Fahrrad zusammen bringt, und das Wohnmobil ganz alleine rumzufahren finde ich auch nicht so ohne.
    Kommt gut durch Paris durch!

  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!
