Groningen to Leer<\/b>:<\/p>\n
Yesterday (Fri 29th) I rode from Groningen (NL) to Leer (Germany). In my typical style I spent the first hour lost and asking people how the hell to get out of Groningen and heading towards Leer. I cant recall much of the ride. I may have diaried it? An update will likely be made to this post.. aren?t you lucky.<\/p>\n
Yes, I did write something. But it was only to mention stopping in a C1000 supermarket in “Beerta” for “Sneeuwmutsjes” – totally yummy, moist little cakes with jam ?baked into? them. A sweet “Limondaine” drink, “Aquarius” drink – like Gatorade (but weaker?) and some “Appelkoeken” (apple cakes) for later.<\/p>\n
I travelled through: Hoogesand, Winschoten, Nieuweschans and Weener if you wanted to know that. If you didn?t, you just replaced your Mother-In-Law?s birthday with a town named “Weener”.. <\/p>\n
Found hostel thanks to nice lady who only spoke German but drew a mean shop-a-docket map! \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n
25.60euro per night. Bit steep – hope it’s not the trend here. Got a whole room to myself though.<\/p>\n
There was some festival on in Leer, but I only saw one marching band and then the cleanup operation. Lots of boats – it’s on a major canal or something?<\/p>\n
Pizza for dinner (5euro) with a half-litre of beer (2.80euro). Didn?t really help my dehydration but I’m into quick kicks rather than long-term happiness \ud83d\ude1b <\/p>\n
Followed that with a beautiful blonde.. no, wait.. a beautiful Tiramisu! (4euro) \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
Did the usual wander around town. Small and cosy but quite a few people – boat crews and tourists, mainly, I think?<\/p>\n
