More Wet Weather in Germany
Not only have we crossed the Rhine, we´ve also drank it. After a long day, we camped by the Rhine near Speyer. Having run out of water, we had no choice but to filter the River water. Still no ill effects so far.
After getting Tim´s freewheel fixed in Trier we had a couple of days of clear skies to go with some hard climbing into the hill great weather but hard climbing up into the hills towards the Rhine. Then the weather broke and we had a very wet day to Wolfstein. The Youth Hostel at Wolfstein is at the top of the longest, steepest hill you can imagine - just what you want after a long day´s pedalling. From Wolfstein we had a short day to Hochspeyer. From Hochspeyer, we enjoyed 25km of downhill following a stream through pine forrests, before a long into wind pedal to Speyer and the Rhine.
From Speyer it was another day of really awfull weather. Well, got to go or Rowena is waiting.
