Sunday..... should have gone to church

So we set off happy enough that a routine short day with some climbing would be over in time for lunch.

Its great this time that we have gos, gps maps, detailed cycle maps and reasonable route signs. I am pleased to say that we are never actually lost.

How about, not where we wanted to be?, damn how did we get here?, wrong fucking track........

So, wrong track, goat track through muddy wet farmland , 20kms away from where we need to be and cycling right into a thunderstorm. Did you see 80 injured in germany by lightning!

Unusally for us dumbassses, we sheltered for an hour whilst it passed.

Continued on with a serious 300m climb to 841m through a small village. Even had to walk the last bit as i didnt have the emergency no and certainly didnt wsnt to carry mark!

The amazing thing was that judging by the water cascading down the roads we had dodged a bullet and missed the major rains whilst hiding in the bus shelter!

Cold, soaked and wet we treated ourselves to coffee and pizza and then continued to our destination horni plana, our last stop before germany.

No photos by me today. Sorry.

Beer and dinner as usual and me still limping around.

Our host at the Happy Penzion is Vietnamese (Hence the name) and was happy to sell us beer and peanuts for our route planning session.

The horni plana square. Will be a foggy ride this morning.
