Early start to ensure I caught the 9am ferry to Eckwardenhorn, the only one until 5pm but cuts a good 25miles off the trip. Around 10 others on the ferry and all cyclists too. A choppy sort of crossing and raining dull and windy on arrival. Cheered up after about 45mins and soon had waterproof clothes off. Nice even cycle on paths no road cycling. Highlight of a short day wasn't the second ferry crossing of the day to Bremerhaven or the sights of the marine museum, but a lamb that bleated at me as I stopped at the roadside. It came up to me and poked its head through the fence to be petted. Made my day, just don't get that on the tourist trail. Til tomorrow longest one so far then.
