Following rain clouds was the game today. As I moved South I came close enough to utilise the rain suit. Then turned East and had some sunshine break through from time to time.
Suit up.
A detour to avoid the straightest of straight roads. Only to happen on a very serious RTA of car vs van on a corner. 2 bends away from a hydro electric dam.
Givet is nice. The church tower plays a melody on the hour.
Then the route aims for Spa. The roads gets interesting but with wet and dry patches in the bends the lean angle is conservative.
Somewhere overlooking the Ardenne.
I have never seen a King Tiger tank but here it is. Some beast compared to the Sherman in Bastogne. Meet King Tiger 11 #213.
The F1 was yesterday. Must be some party at the circuit. Today was cleaning up and moving the circus on. As I enter Spa I thought the place smells of shit. Only after I pass the garbage truck do I realise. More curvy roads ahead. Oh yeah.
Then the valley of a thousand wind turbines.
I felt like it was taking forever but eventually made it. Stopped in a car park to have a snack. Would be rude not to tick the box.
Fortunately after scrutineering I was not allowed on. Lacking a Porsche engine and 17'' wheels plus it is the wrong colour was cited as reasons. Bugger.
A quick blast to Koblenz and on to Bad Elms for the night. Surprise inspection of the local festival.
For what it is worth. When you plan a trip to Eastern Europe, make sure you load the damn maps on the Sat nav. Bugger.
Night night. Allenstasse tomorrow.
