Deutschland Day 2

We have not driven such kilometres since a trip between Tennant Creek and Katherine in the Northern Territoriy in Australia! This time there were a "few" more cars and trucks on the road - but no road-trains! 

Some typical rural scenery as you drive across Germany

Hymer in Hamburg were useless! Fortuitously,  as we were trying to sort out who in Hymer could help us with our step, we had a call from Dirk and Brigitte and with their great language and negotiation skills they were able to get us an appointment with Hymer in Dortmund first thing tomorrow morning. So, on our bikes and off we went!

The lovely part of Germany we were going to explore will have to wait for another time. If we can get our step problem sorted out tomorrow, or even next week, we will have the opportunity to see this great part of Germany. 
An awful picture, but only one of the mighty Elbe River near Hamburg, whose course we tracked a couple of years ago. 

So, summing up the day - driving and frustration! 

Many more solar farms ....
....  And a new support structure for the windfarm towers!
