campsite garden burger

Okay so its actuqlly Gerqrdsbergen but i can remember it this way. This post is being composed on a European keyboard that is messing up my typing so apologies in advance for typos. This campsite was not orginally on our route, but because it turned out to be 70 km from yesterdays campsite to Axels house in Waterloo, and we got rather a late start yesterday, mostly because we couldnt figure out the stupid payphone, we decide to stop here fro the night. It is about 25 miles from here to Axels house.

Yesterday was our first experience with hills. The first one came out of nowhere and was loooong. Guess we arent on the flat Dutch terrain anymore. In the middle of the ride several things seemed to go wrong at once: my front tire came loose, we couldnt find our turn, and it started raining torrentially. Luckily the rain didnt last long, we were able to modify our route and diego was able to tighten my tire.

Animals seem to have it in for us. during a stop on the side of the road yesterday a dog nearly peed on diego as he leaned over to adjust a pannier. Then this morning we woke up to discover that the bird ha decidedour tent was a toilet. That was a fun cleaning job...

More later!
