A pleasant ride eastwards leaving Bremerhaven quite late at about 11am having first tried to fix my camera and then given up and bought a new one at the out of town retail park near Lehe in Bremerhaven.
A cycle through a wooded forest and some unexpected rain to Bad Baderska where i took shelter under a bus shelter for 30 minutes and then discovered the town centre was a building site across which I had to carry my bike.
A cycle thorugh further forest tracks to Hemmoor where I found a nice windmill and was promptly electrocuted on an electric fence whilst trying to get close for a photograph - Actung !!!
A steady ride down to Wischnafen where I passed a huge queue for the ferry across the Elbe to Gluckstadt. The ferry came in quickly as I bypassed the 2 mile long queue and soon I was on board crossing and exchanging cycling experiences with a guy from Zoetermeer in Holland who was doing the North Sea cycle route towing a trailer with all his living & camping gear in.
from Gluckstadt it was continuing east through even more forested trails until I arrived in Neumunster - a quick shower in my hotel which was Firzlaffs Hotel then into town for another nice pasta meal in a wine bar in the town centre where I managed to practice a bit more German, culminating in me getting a haircut the next morning all in German - the cut was a lot more svere & shorter than I expected but I got exactly what i asked for - I just didn't realize how short 3 millimetres are !!!
