Germany trip photos
A few photos from last week's trip to Germany.
We were lucky in that the sun shone for much of the week and the only rain we had that required waterproofs was on the France/ Germany border on the motorway on the way back and within an hour we were sweltering again.
Trouble with riding on Europe's roads is that it makes you want to go back straight away. The roads are good, there is little traffic and what drivers there are are far more courteous than in Britain ( no lane hogging). Most cars give you lots of room to pass.
The food is good and generally the weather is warmer and drier and the service stations in France are far superior to the crap we have here.
Oh and French women.....
Anyway here is a few photos.

Re: Germany trip photos
I only found when we got back that the Thiepval memorial is just 5 minutes down the road. Definitely a place to revisit and tour properly one day.

Video of the ride into Martinpuich on the Somme. Notice how many WW1 cemeteries we pass in just a few miles.
