Waiting out the rain in Oldenburg
A shopping sucess
The weather forecast today was terrible, rain all day. Not only did we wake to rain but Ken also had a cold. We went down to breakfast with Robyn and Bruce and it wasn’t a hard decision for us to book in for another night and hope it is a little better tomorrow
The loss of my crutch has been a major as without it I really cant walk far at all but with it and a stick in my other hand I am quite good. Google had found us an orthopaedic supply shop nearby. It was run by two lovely ladies and in no time I had a beautiful new blue crutch. This is going to make so much difference to how the trip continues. Just have to work out how to attach it to the bike
A celebration over a cup of coffee at a lovely Backerie and we were back to room to watch the rain and read our books
By the afternoon the rain had eased a little so in we went to the beautiful city centre. What a difference it takes when no cars are allowed. Bikes also must be pushed through and not ridden. It makes everything feel so relaxed - I love city centres like this - everyone always appears so relaxed
We have been thinking of Robyn and Bruce and hoping they didn’t get too soaked on their way to Leer.
