Andy: 19 July

Time is flying, as it seems are we! Went to Kiel in the morning which was very bland, just some creative cobbling and very little else to see. We had a Brockwurst for breakfast which was very tasty but seemed only to be a larger scale version of the beloved British banger in a much smaller roll, which led me to question the hype placed around the German sausage. Still, it gave us some fuel for the days cycling, which saw us reach Denmark at 9:30pm and slightly frantically, we finally found a beautiful private fishery that we were permitted to stay on for the night. We were only 5 minutes cycle from the harbor but we had already found the scenery to be quite pleasant.

I accidentally had a bit of an adventure today, one which the Mace was not impressed by. I was pedalling along with Jonny some distance ahead as has become customary for us. I somehow found myself on quite a large road. Oblivious to my whereabouts, I wondered why the Germans had had put so much effort into widening a minor road. Little did I know that I was in fact meandering down an autoroute/motorway. Still, the view was very pleasant as I crossed over the bridge, and the cars were courteous enough to leave me in my blissful state of ignorance as they sped past. Unbeknown to me, the Mace sped behind me, attempting to save me from the ever present danger that I was ever unaware of until he zoomed past me, like some great super hero with a potty mouth, screaming "what the **** are you doing?!?!?!?!?!." I continued to toddle on until we reached an exit, and whilst Mace was not happy with me for my error, not happy at all in fact, we soon put it behind us and saw the funny side of my little detour.
