First day on the move and everything went well.
6:30, lift off from BrusselsI had a thick mist until after Leuven, then it got brighter until Germany.
Shortly after I passed the border the mist and some rain were back.
I must say I'm glad I have put one one more layer and of course my rain combi ;)
After a second stop in Hochwald I started the last 100km to Heidelberg. On my way I noticed I was passing by near Ramstein so of course I had to stop :D
12:30, arrival in Heidelberg
After I checked in at the Ibis Hotel I couldn't help myself and went to the Burger King :) :) :)
As I had the whole afternoon time for visiting I headed to the Old Town and to Heidelberg Castle.
Besides the wayyyy too many tourists the city is nice and the castle is worth the never ending hill to get up there :P
Back at the hotel now.
I'll score something to eat here and will hit the sack pretty early so that I can leave before 8 o'clock tomorrow.
Program of this Friday: autobahn to Ettlingen and then the Schwarzwald!!! Wuhu!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Céline,
ReplyDeletenice to read about your trip with the motorbike. Though the weather is really bad at the moment. Since I started to learn riding a motorbike myself, I am always curious about experiences with a motorbike from friends and colleagues :-) Have a safe trip to the Schwarzwald and i'm looking forward to see you on Sathurday.
I started a blog myself, but unfortunately didn't have really time for it...
cheers
Corinne
