Steeple to Steeple through the Big Yellow Fields

Germany has been, based purely on the elements, the best riding we've seen all trip.

Today was an especially awesome day and we have just reached our destination - Braunschweig. The title of this entry makes two references. First, as it got pretty hilly today, our approach to each town was such that, as we would be riding uphill, the church steeples in each town were the first thing we would see. Thus, we rode from steeple to steeple. Second, there were these enormous fields of yellow flowers that would roll through the countryside as far as the eye could see. I mean acres and acres of bright yellow fields people.

Once we got to Brauschweig we headed into the city center where we found an open square, surrounded by trees and on the one side a big, old church. The square had tables and chairs that you would expect to see in a nice restaurant. But they are simply here for the people to more fully enjoy the public space their town has to offer. Absolutely awesome. So we are drinking beers and making food here on the main square off the main strip of the town.

Bike tours rule. Spread the word.
