Have gradually made our way up through Germany and are now on the threshold of entering Scandinavia (German - Danish border). Roads are so good here it is easy to make good progress. It is amazing how quickly you slip into a travelling routine - no rush, relaxed mornings, if we feel like it move on to another site, or stay and cycle for a day as we did on Wednesday. After a very hot start to the week it has turned quite cold, and as we are on the N Sea Coast a raw wind.
Having never been to N Germany there are a number of interesting features: Further south there is an amazing amount of woodland; every campsite has been filled with birdsong; roads are very good; it is generally very flat with lots of retaining dykes to keep out the sea; like The Netherlands cycling for everyday purposes such as shopping, is very normal, generally on sit up and beg type bikes.
It is a long weekend in Germany now for Ascention Day - which is also fathers day - campsite prices are inflated.
We will cross into Denmark today and head for some of the Viking sites over the next few days before crossing into Sweden.
