ReplyDeletewww.openstreetmap.org - if you click on the "+" sign on the right hand side you can pick the "cycle map" option and it shows you pretty accurate all major bike trails in Germany - so based on this info I think you should be on the "D11" route. Anyway - have fun and enjoy my home country :)

Hi George & John,
ReplyDeletelet´s try it a second time...somehow it didn´t work with posting a comment the first time.
It´s amazing to follow your route through Europe seeing the pictures, reading your stories and impressions of the different areas and cities. I think a few days ago you passed by hometown Solingen by just a few mails. It´s not far away from KOELN. And now in the Netherlands...I love the Netherlands. It´s a small but very open country and claro a paradise for bikes. Hope you had the chance to stop at Holland´s coast and enjoy the endless sand beach. Here one tip! On your way south try to pass the Ooster Schelde. There you will find a very impressive gigantic structure at the coast connecting different islands and protecting the lower parts of the Netherlands from flooding. You can pass them by car or by bike...If you do that in the evenings it will be very beautiful during the sunset...good luck and greetings from Santiago! Ben
Hi George and John!
ReplyDeleteYou two have traveled quite a bit since I last saw you in Corfu! I love all the pictures and posts. It looks and sounds like you have had a good trip thus far. I see that you snuck Italy into your journey. I’m so jealous! All the places look so amazing. I can’t imagine how vigorous the trail has been…very impressed. I definitely wish I were still in Greece, on the beach, enjoying a “frappe me gala” (: Hope you two have a good rest of your journey! ~Elisa
boy all the places you've seen!! really jealous of you....happy ending and safe return home.
ReplyDeletelove, momma Makrinos
well, so you left the continent and made it to the island (the british call the rest of Europe "The continent")...Canterbury is beautiful, a very typical english city with an amazing cathedral...and the countryside in the south of England is very pretty...enjoy the rest of your awesome trip...and don't forget about "tea time"....George, do you remember Jens, I came with him to the WAAC in in 2002. He lives and works in London.
