Bremen to Bad Zwischenahn




Back on the bikes today with much better weather. Pretty much cool and cloudy all day and not too much wind. What a nice change :-) We're in northwestern Germany and tomorrow will cross the border in to The Netherlands and hopefully on to see our friend Esther in Groningen. Mostly separated bike paths today running parallel to the secondary highways. All in all very pleasant riding.

After breakfast we toured some of the historical sights in Bremen, including the church originally built in 789 AD. Gee, only 1,000 years before San Xavier! The lunch stop was in Oldenburg which included a nice chat with a German lady who really wanted to tell us a good place to go. We were trapped with her :-) Two German guys tried to translate to no avail and eventually we had to make our escape. The stop for the night is in Bad Zwischenahn by a very scenic lake. Before dinner we did the 6 mile path around the lake then it was dinner at a nice Greek restaurant. The big excitement there was a lady at the next table passing out and having to be rescued by the paramedics and an ambulance. Looking forward to another impossible to understand language tomorrow!
