New wheel for new country, Germany






















Finding a bike shop open was the first objective today. Persuading them to urgently fit a new wheel assembly was next. Rob and Lucie, my Warm Showers hosts, were happy to help. Without their help I doubt I would have made it to Munster today. (thank you both)

The Munster building is the original town hall (Rathaus) and contains portraits of delegates attending the Peace of Westphalia talks in 1648. It's been a very complicated day with bike repairs and old fashioned map reading. And, in case you wonder, those life-size figures are carrying sausages!

    1. The figures are carrying sausages rolled over a bar - for curing I assume!

    Glad that your wheel is ok although the bike was in mint condition. Keep on rolling. ..
