– Dornumersiel to Dangast –

98.5 km

Two days first? Since this morning, it seems to me that I have been travelling alone for ages.

When you get up, it’s totally cold and the wind is even stronger than in the evening. So I’m dodging something, sit comfortably in the common room and have breakfast. Actually, I leave far too late. But with tailwind, and what for which! In just over two hours I tear down the first 40 km to Schillig. – Including purchasing.

In Schillig, I did my first work. I am on the wrong side of the dike and suddenly i am standing on the beach. Unfavorable with such a heavy bike. But while standing still and orienting me, the cold wind catches up with me. So put on a few layers again until it gets too warm. A runner who accompanies me to the next place (towards his hotel) observes my activities, asks me what I am doing/where it goes and recommends a pizzeria. Unfortunately, outside my budget. Holiday resort.

On the way to Ludwigshafen the tailwind subsided for the first time, i.e. I had to kick properly. To top it all off, the dike was also closed so that I had to take a detour via a rather scarred federal road. After a short walk through the city centre, I had to find my way again. And cut off from the thick grey cloud. Has also worked except for a few drips. I’ve never had to pitch or dismantle a tent in the rain, let alone a wet one, in the week I’ve been on the road so far.

Not even today, just windy was. But thanks to some reeds not as much as last night. My feet also get warm again, then it is time to sleep.
