Lovely day of sunshine with forest path cycle through dappled shade this morning, fantastic cycling with great pathways. Shock to system though - hills! Not too steep but after days of flat a bit like being back home. Must splash on the lotion tomorrow, am burning a bit now, forecast good for next few days but still windy and East North East headwinds. I was expecting western winds to blow me on my way. Big queues for the Elbe ferry crossing, four ferries shuttling across but packed with articulated lorries but no need to queue on the approach road with the others, on a bike, cycle right to the front ! Gluckstadt tonight's stop, a lovely little port on the Elbe and getting ready for a 4 day festival which starts tomorrow. Hotel I am in is on the market square so a good view of the preparations. Bike given a clean up and lubricants aplenty so fingers crossed for the mechanics holding out all the way. Quick pic of the church on the square, Til tomorrow.
