Day 12: Ooij to Uerdingen

I cycled an unbelievable distance of 125km today and am now only 75km away from Cologne and a night with my sista! Wohoooooow!!! It was a very enjoyable ride along the Rhine, passed the German border first thing in the morning (not very spectacular, I only recognised it as the border because the Dutch kilometer sign was suddenly at 0), more sunshine, more fields, more animals on the way, not as many other cyclists as in Holland, all together: happy days!!!

I stopped for a lovely asparagus lunch on the way, had a good old Puddingteilchen for afternoon tea, aaah, its so good to be in Germany! :-)

I still feel pretty ok after that serious cycling the last days. My legs are a bit heavy in the mornings, but thats all forgotten after the first 10kms of the day. The route is pretty much flat all the way, but still, today I started at 8:30 and finished at 17:30, only stopped an hour for lunch and a bit in the afternoon. So basically I am sitting on the bike all day long, starting with the sun in my face and finishing with it in my back ;-)
