Alarm clock at 7 pm. A decent time for a semi – retiree. Unfortunately Tosca anounced her presence in the\u00a0central heating\u00a0room (with the window wide open, so\u00a0it wasn’t that hot after all) already half an hour earlier. So I quickly got dressed, assuming that Tosca\u00a0sincerely needed to empty her bladder and bowel.\u00a0And indeed\u00a0that happened outside. Then\u00a0trying to catch a brief\u00a0little “sleep”\u00a0for half an hour until the alarm definitely woke us up, gathering all our stuff, walk the dog, and next\u00a0hurrying\u00a0Lee and Noel to the train at 9.15 a.m. First thing to do now is going, at 9.20\u00a0am to the tourist information. See if they could help me find a cheap place to stay, 30 km. further North. That was not the case. All these tourist information centers know only about their own very modest rayon. Doesn’ matter. In Rendsburg I surely will find a hostel and one can always go to a campsite with an overnight cabin. Or tent, because for Wednesday is predicted hot weather.
\nSo just let’s hit the road. There was a bleak, harsh wind, but mostly I had that\u00a0from the rear. That’s one of the benefits of my route running from South to North: wind, rain and sun from behind. We walked quiet country roads, cycle paths and along\u00a0hedgerows. See pictures. Many deer in the fields. Tosca was mostly running free and had a party with among others a broken leg of a rummaged deer in the field. Along the way she devored a significant part of it. She gets through the year where others have to wait for until Christmas. Lucky girl.<\/p>\n

Because the route is progressing well,\u00a0and finding the right way is\u00a0not difficult, I\u00a0am humming and\u00a0whistling most of the time. Today is the first day\u00a0my<\/span>\u00a0old blisters don’t bother me any more\u00a0at all. <\/span>The weight of the backpack I am accustomed to by now and I hardly feel the straps on my shoulder. <\/span>So, jinks.
\n<\/span>Rendsburg I roamed quite a few km. <\/span>in between showers and also with a ferry, before I finally reached the center. <\/span>Nein, no Jugendherberge here. <\/span>And no camping. <\/span>OK. <\/span>Then the cheapest\u00a0other possibility.\u00a0B@B<\/span> “Frau Antje”\u00a0in the Preuss Strasse was an option. <\/span>On the door was\u00a0a sign saying\u00a0you had to call by telephone because\u00a0nobody would respond to the door bell. On the phone <\/span>Frau Antje\u00a0sounded like a battle-ax and said she wouldn’t\u00a0be home the next hour. <\/span>Yes, but only 45 min. ago the tourist office arranged that I would be at Frau Antje in less than an hour.\u00a0Fortunately Herr<\/span>\u00a0“Antje” showed up\u00a0and\u00a0soon everything was\u00a0settled. <\/span>Tosca\u00a0gets a\u00a0room inside, because Antje has\u00a0a barking dog outside. <\/span>No problem.\u00a0At the Turkish restaurant I ate a<\/span>\u00a06 E doner kebab,\u00a0I did some\u00a0shopping, shower, blog,\u00a0booked a room in\u00a0a hostel for\u00a0tomorrow\u00a0 in Schleswich. <\/span>Only\u00a0no dog allowed in there. <\/span>Let’s see how we’ll \u00a0fix that again tomorrow.
\nA call to my<\/span>\u00a0sister\u00a0who has her birthday and\u00a0who were eating outside with the family,\u00a0while here in the North\u00a0it is\u00a0uncanny cold.
\n<\/span>Friday I’ll probably\u00a0cross the Danish border and three weeks later, around 6-7 May, I expect the ferry to land in the dock in Oslo-Norway. <\/span>Cool man!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
