Tonight I was witness of an unbelievable frog concert. That ended only when rain started. WOW I'm so blessed, then the cats meowed and at sunrise the geese also chattered off, despite all this came this morning much better out of bed uh tent than I thought, dismantle etc also did not take, shortly after eight I was on the road. I knew the way and knew to drive through Nancy would be significantly shorter, but I wanted to drive this loop again and was rewarded. Finest nature (like today the whole day)! Left the river, right the canal and in the middle the bike path that runs through the forest. A dream. So was it the whole day today. 2 or 3 times I had to "share" the road and my way with cars. It was to be gotten over. The problem is always just getting back into the bike-only passage, it's not so tingly signposted and when you're over, you're over. The signs are scarce and tiny and I am fast and do not see so well anymore. In addition, thinking is more difficult at 35 ° C, or navigating. May not believe, in the car you can also ALWAYS find his goal easily. Yes the situation is different, definitely. Heat, time pressure, fatigue, that sometimes leads to navigation errors. Anyway on the whole everything ran cleanly and until km 110, Epinal I knew the way: back on the way to the source of the Mosel I had got myself mightily entangled there, the signs are not huge and scarce and if you are past.... Oh who do I tell that. This time the other junction. Fortunately, I immediately looked around for a supermarket and found one, the remaining 40 km was none anymore. I am in France, little populated, just wonderful. The last 3 h I encountered maybe 4 fishermen as I roared along the canal path. That was it. Isn't that cool? Fortunately, there is one or the other campsite (7 €) and now I sit here with Camembert and choice nuts in front of my tent, have WLAN, and write the lines. Tomorrow I have my 4th wedding anniversary, I hope I remember to call my wife and celebrate this not only alone before me. I am so away from everything, in this sense good night
