Herbert asked me to drink a beer but I said I would prefer a pot of tea!! They all laughed and probably called me a little girl. Very nice people here. Danke :) Also thanks to a very nice woman called Norma who was on holiday from New Jersey,USA. We got talking today when I stopped for lunch today and she sponsored a most delicious meal :) Stopped for a delicious meal in a restaurant/guest house Landgasthof Bloss in Lautertal

It was also a very hot afternoon and the coolness of the evening is so beautiful 47,208km for 1,080 road days. I put my 47th pair of shoes on this morning. Thank you Oliver in On Running as they have supplied me since January. A late start again and may run the cool evening as I have spent so much time today on logistics! Thanks everyone for messages and to Jan for sponsoring a couple of meals and Sue Reid for sponsoring a very nice hotel night :) Getting on a lot better now, though still slow.When the biking paths are marked well they are a joy, even if hillier!

I repeat here as I was rushing so much I neglected to say he rode his bicycle on Sunday and stayed over at Camilla and George's house and then helped me by pushing Nirvana while I ran up the hills pushing his easier to manage bicycle, mad I know :) "I was honored to ride with you on your route at least for two days. It was great to discover other places where I´ve never been and meet several kind people. Keep going forward, I know too that everything is possible if you want. Take care, Martin."
