How glorious is the warm and golden sunshine after rain, rain, rain. One and a half day of sunny paradise makes me forget last week's misery. How lucky to ride one of the very best stretches of my trip on this beautiful day. I am biking where the river carved a path through the vertical white rocks, through the lush forests, picknick tables under the big oak trees. Paved bike-only roads snake through the rolling hills with peekaboo views of castles and palaces. Villages with half-timbered houses and beergartens serving big plates of schnitzel and apfelstrudel. I sleep in my tent in places that come straight out of a fairytale book.
That was yesterday. Today I am sitting in the station at Tuttlingen, wearing muddy rain pants and a drippy raincoat, plastic bags sandwiched between 2 pairs of socks. My bike is heavy with the soaking wet tent and mud clinging to every bicycle part. I am here reconsidering my route to Basel as the planned route has no rain in the forecast but ... snow!

Nice waterproof biking shoes...
ReplyDeleteGood thing about shoes that soak quickly is that they dry quickly too.
DeleteNoticed the blue plastic bags, yes? Waterproof as can be!
