Good energy

Posted from Saint-Germain-du-Bois, Burgundy, France.

in a dead man´s place. Today is monday and a bank holiday, everything is closed.

It was a very good cycling day. I had good energy and good weather in the morning. There was almost no wind today, what a blessing!

In the afternoon it turned very cloudy. Just when I had arrived in my hotel some rain drops fell and in the evening it started really to rain.

The route was going through very rural zones. The problem was that with the bank holiday the few bars and restaurants on the route were all closed.

I have landed in a small village in Burgundy. There are two restaurants, but both are closed this evening. There is a “Tilt”-Bar, also closed. My hotel is a 200 year old farmhouse with a very peculiar old style furniture and decoration. It is managed by a 86 year old lady and her daughter.

I am hungry and have arranged with the landlady that I will have dinner with her and her daughter.

Today´s route: 71,60 km

Macon - Saint Germain sur Bois

    Michael,

    I note that you focus much on the 86 year old lady! Any information about the beautiful daughter … ? 🙂

    Good luck for tomorrow with the wind.

    Hallo Michael,
    schon wieder ein neues Abenteuer. Ein Vorschlag aus meinem Fahradbuch für Deutschland.
    Basel-Weil am Rhein a.Rhein.
    Deutschland: Schopfloch-Todtnau-Tittisee-Donaueschingen- Tuttlingen – Sigmaringen
    Donautal – Ehingen – Blaubeuren – Bissingen – Herbrechtingen – Nördlingen – Treuchtlingen
    Altmühltal – Beilngries – Kanal -Nürnberg – Fürth – Kriegenbrunn – Herzogenaurach
    Weiterhin richtigen Wind und Wetter und gute Gesundheit.
    Vielleicht hilft Dir der Tipp weiter

    Viele Grüße Christof

    Having dinner with the locals should be a treat. Sounds like the old day-“thereupon you bespied comely maidens milking the cows”
