Day 3 – Weibenfels to Herzberg

Got off early from the hostel at 6.45am  to get the cooler miles in! The planned milage today was meant to be 86, but the German cycle paths didn’t suit touring bikes; so one of the easier planned days turned into another 97 miles (however a little less hilly than yesterday).

We stopped after 20 miles for breakfast in a small village. We have found that no body speaks English in any of the non ‘touristy’ places we visit, so conversions resorts to the Germans shouting louder to try and make us understand and us putting on an even more of a German accent! The best was when Geoff tried to order a slice of ham and ended up doing Karate chopping impressions without success! 

We must have drank about 6 litres of water each trying to beat the heat, but the sun flower fields looked good! 

The roads today varied with busy roads and idealistic cycle paths. The room tonight is a lot more up market with a setee! We are building up for a BIG day in the saddle tomorrow ……
