I woke up at 5:00 am - and I was cold! As usual, I had only used the sleeping bag as a blanket. Actually more than enough in the summer. Not this time! After crawling into my sleeping bag, I slept off my beer tasting frenzy.
The weather forecast said it wouldn't be above 20°C today, so I dressed warmly

It's getting fresh...
or it doesn't get warm unless you're in the direct sun and have a slipstream. I.e.: SPF 50 and the vest with it not, on the one hand the sunburn and on the other hand the summer flu. Apparently it wasn't warmer than 20°C today... I'm wearing a flowy jumper!
With a bit of a headwind

After feeling something yesterday, now the larger round (not the tour, it's just a means to an end).
Regarding the weather because of the inquiries: Thunderstorms have only been within earshot so far.
In between there was a shower that caught me on a bridge (on foot!) on Tuesday evening. Short but intense

After munching on the last bits of carrot, I got back on my bike, the next meal firmly in sight!
The dry rolls at the gas station were not an option. Of the five bakeries in the next villages, only two were still in operation - Monday: closed!

Because of the impending storm I gave up my dinner in Rodalben. And directly overcame the 150m difference in altitude. Finally, in Clausen, where I was able to book a holiday apartment at short notice, there is a pizzeria that is open until 11 p.m.... according to Google.
In real life I stood in front

Sunday! Luckily I bought water, apple juice and a few bananas for breakfast yesterday in Pfortzheim. Tent dismantled, stuff packed and then on the bike path harmlessly downhill to the Rhine ferry. After that it slowly became more wooded, a bit hilly... and increasingly warmer.
The hills became vineyards

Slightly hung over, after the big housewarming party, things started in Ludwigsburg...
Annette, a dear colleague insisted on accompanying me a bit on the first stage. So the two of us set off from LuBu, drove over a few hills and when Annette in Bietigheim-Bissingen suddenly became aware of her low caffeine

I continue to follow the Ourthe which 'Moselt' (is that a valid adjective?) through the Ardennes. At Liège (Liège) it flows into the Meuse.
Liège already has what Hamburg is only just getting: a piece of "lighthouse architecture". A reason to continue, although I suspect that the old town is also lurking
