Day 3 - 62.5 miles (98km)

Guterhandfiertel to Barfrode (a tiny spot inthe middle of nowhere).

After last night's exploits with Magdeburg football fanatic, pirate beer and Wurst we both slept appallingly.
Another sunny morning with easterly wind. Guess which way we were going? Saw the Elbe once again when we cossed by ferry to Hamburg. Tricky route finding through Hamburg but postman eventually redirected us.
Cultural Highlight - Hafen City - The old port side warehouses converted into flat, shops and restaurants. Very impressive.
Spent the remainder of the time in Hamburg looking for a postman!
Eventually regained Elbe Radweg and there followed a hard afternoon's cycling into the strenghtening wind. Derek seemed more than happy for me to lead.
Ended at present location on the front lawn of farmhouse. No food or beer available so had to resort to dreaded dried chicken curry.

  1. Sounds like an interesting day-eating the chicken curry will at least lighten your load!
