The Beautiful North
Sep. 26th, 2009 01:10 pm380km on the bike, one ferry, and I've arrived on Amrum - the World's Best Island, as my aunt insists. I don't know about that, but it's definitely nice.
The journey was interesting - I drove between 50 and 90km a day with a rest day in between (which wasn't actually that restful since I did a sightseeing marathon in Schleswig, a rather hilly town). Since I didn't follow the coast most of the time, the drive wasn't that spectacular and photogenic, but I enjoyed myself immensely and sometimes came as close to a zen place as I'll ever be. *g*
Tomorrow I'll take the train back, clean the bike and make further plans - I have next week off, too!
The camera died somewhere along the way, but I'll see if I can rescue some pictures when I'm home.
