I think I me at this stage a little over. Perhaps it was simply a lot of small factors that have hampered much of today's stage. But first of all Beginning. I'm in Solingen with a friend, Tom came in, I got to know about Lydia and I have learned to appreciate it, especially after last night very much and admire. The reason is simply that I had after returning from Cologne, Tom started a very interesting conversation about art, music and life in these areas. What would perhaps be mentioned is the fact that Tom and his character straight conductor is involved in several productions at once. As is well known, the disadvantage of entertaining conversations, the problem of time passing. In our case, it meant that after the blog entry-only letters to 2 clock went to bed. essentially no problem, if there was not the problem of getting up the next morning.
Today I overslept a little bit - not really, but I woke up at 9 and clock was set to a sumptuous breakfast. After the successful completion of the meal, making the finished, the clock was already at 10 clock, so my leg could not begin before 10:30 clock. Hook at the present stage, the problem is that yesterday's tour was not planned to Solingen, but about 20km further to lead to Cologne. So today came to the anyway to moving 103 km more than 20km from Solingen added. In general, the Tour started well, but after about 2 km I noticed that the rear tire to clear air lost and thus forced me shortly after the start of a repair. By a slightly opaque route I came up with but now have considerable delay to the Rhine.
today I had to also admit that the Rhine is already quite big and I'm looking for the next time with the comment "there is still a lot of water flowing down the Rhine ..." will certainly hold back much. Another problem was that, through various chemical production plants near water or other industries can not always travel directly on the Rhine, and thus on the proposed km further to come to the ring. I have not yet let me take in the short-Porz Urbacher way, my address was made something more than a year, stop by, and noticed with pleasure that drags me also at this point nothing more. After a few kilometers
reported to be a pain in my right knee. Generally, I am assuming that my body just now responding to the massive burden of recent days. In order to prevent worse things I've taken down the pace considerably, trying to relieve the right leg. Approximately 20 km to Cologne, however, a point was reached where I had to make a decision, as I bring today's stage to an end. After a rough estimate, it seemed the most sense from Bonn by public transport to travel to Bad Ems. After retrospective analysis is a good choice, since I no later than was not able to Koblenz to Bad Ems, the increase would have and about the pain in his knee would not jeopardize the other tour.
arrived in Bad Ems began, as every day, searching for the reserved accommodation. Bad Ems is beautiful in itself. It lies in a valley and is a health resort, as it appears in the book. A small river flows through a picturesque, romantic style of the place where you feel like a different world. The highlight though was the hostel. This is situated about 200m above the city at the end of a 2km long street with 16% slope - an absolute no-go this evening. For the ascent, I walk, pushing the wheel, kanpp 45 minutes needed. The view is magnificent, the location fantastic, but the road to hell!
to my route planning and subsequent implementation: In general, I've resigned myself in the last few days so that you can sometimes get lost - It happens schonmal. If I, however, after a day with this current scale in a city arrived and I'm not sure if me is asked about just once you want to send just up the hill, it is for me a pure will to survive in a few meters, someone like again to ask - just to be sure!
Well, I've indulged me this evening, once a small bathroom and I will prepare myself for tomorrow and just try today right time to go to bed. In this sense, good night.
