Does it show the same imagination though?It’s certainly a step up from that dollop on the boat.

Part of the adventure is being out of your comfort zone. The “difficulty” in that is what you keep in telling yourself and being afraid to face said “difficulty”.
In my late teens I came to Germany for the very first time. Knowing nothing (other than danke and hende hoch
) of German language, nor did I know anybody. But I’ve managed for best part of nearly three and a half years with bits of broken English. Eventually picking up German bit by bit, even went to a cinema on a few occasions to watch Hollywood films dubbed in German. Nothing is impossible, if one does put their mind to it.I must confess, I have forgotten much of what German I have picked up over the years, but despite being rusty, I have managed to strike a bit of a conversation with an old boy from Germany, whilst myself and Paul Young have stayed at same campsite in France en route to Sid’s. The old boy came by with a couple of cold beers for us two, having watched us sweat our bollocks off, whilst putting up our tents in evening heat not to dissimilar to what we are currently experiencing in Blighty.
You have to add nicht bewegen! to Hände hoch(other than danke and hende hoch
Moving on day today.
Enjoyed our stay here. Plenty of places to visit.
Hotel..All very nice and no complaints about anything. Oh maybe one thing no fridge in the room.
And bike parking good.
Next stop here for 2 nights and the quest to find another English person continues

Footnote don't buy a litre bottle of cola from the hotel.
£13 EuroI was thirsty in the early hours.
All is forgotten with the nice roads and open countryside.

It’s only when he looks at this picture, that he realises that he’s forgotten his pillion….
You’d be damned if you don’t.If in Germany you have to visit Cochum.
It’s the law.
Like you have to do all 3 dams.

Makes UK look a right dump (god it makes me instantly feel depressed thinking about it), Just look at the condition of them roads, gras wedges, signage, and a feckoff cycle paths, completely separated from the main road. How do Germans manage to do it and we can't?
Stunning roads Ev.
Best I could do Richard as i did route on TomTom and unsure how to share.Sharing is caring…..
At a guess:
subsidies from Bonn to regenerate the old East
subsidies from Brussels to regenerate the old East
proper management of infrastructure projects with tight contracts so that the money is not salami sliced by "off contract" deductions
preventing contractors substituting specified materials for cheaper, inferior products
preventing funds being syphoned off in shareholder dividends and management bonuses
it also helps that few people remain in the old East so the roads do not wear out through lack of use!
Quite right, I drank some and lived to tell the tale
