– Medium Churches – Bremen – Lintorf

95km

I was exhausted after about ten kilometers, with headwinds and smaller rain showers. The first of them already when waking up, the tent quickly dismantled again in a short break. Luckily, it gets less wet during the morning. I take breaks many smaller ones that day, in the back of my mind the destination Bremen, and the train home. My nose tells me that it is slow enough and that I have learned a lot.

My path leads me almost exclusively along the federal road. Not necessarily the most beautiful route, but neatly developed with bike path and relatively direct. Nevertheless, every kilometer stretches on this day. Hosed by the short night the day before, the rain and the wind it is no fun to drive on the light hills. Unfortunately, the wind has not diminished significantly.

When I reach the border of Bremen, I start to think about the train journey. I had been on the train more often, but not without a reservation. After some back and forth in the travel center of the DB, however, everything goes well.

Happily received in Duisburg, the last piece is on the S-Bahn and a few kilometres through the forest. Immediately I let myself fall into my own cuddly bed at home.
