Day 8
The canal cyclists are in a class of their own again. There are the old ones (me: AREN'T they older than us? M: Well…) with their inconspicuous touring bikes and super light deck chairs, busy repacking and washing things. And then there are the young ones, colorful cycling jerseys, maximum butt

Day 7
I wake up 20 minutes before the alarm clock. It's just cool enough that I could crawl back into my sleeping bag. Instead, I pack up. Luxury vacation!
At 6:22 we are on the bike, record start. In the first village, I guide M. past, who smells coffee (we can't stop now!). In Cercy-la-Tour there is

Day 5
A Plan B is needed. The heat is not expected to get any better, and this is only half a vacation, with the forced kilometers in the morning. It feels like we've already been traveling for three weeks, with all the shades of heat we've experienced, all the encounters, and the thoughts in the back

Day 4
By now, the alarm clock rings at 5:45. In the morning, you think, that's doable, you'll just sleep the whole afternoon. In the evening, you lie groaning in your tent, waiting for a cooling breeze.
At least I'm managing the packing well. I always thought it would be terrible to have to take everything

Day 3
This time we are on our bikes at 7:11. Our bakery has won a prize for its brioche. M. only tells me this when we are already outside.
We cross the Saône. In Sennecy Le Grand, M. wants to go to the supermarket. I would prefer not to stop until it gets hot. But we have to eat something. And anyway

The altitude meters feel correct, other sources state only half as much. ;)

In search of bike parking spots up to Lausanne (without having to change trains three times with the heavy bikes), I somehow manage to overlook that we might also like to lie down in the train at night. It only occurs to me as we leave Berlin in a full compartment. The whole night? Phew.
In Leipzig, however

Tag 9
blurs in the heat. Departure before 5:30, no coffee until km 30. Our canal connects with the Yonne and separates from it, together they form islands where wild animals surely live, flow into each other, separate again in wild overflow mechanisms.
Everything as usual, except that it's somehow tough
