What a crock of shit today was, not only did I get dumped on by the weather which I would have avoided if Nadine let me stay at her place, after all I made the effort to make the detour to see her, she seemed excited to see me, I'm trying to find this funny because her excuse was unforgivable - her boyfriend wasn't comfortable with me staying with her. What! Fucking bullshit.
I think it's quite obvious that I'm pretty well pissed off at the moment. I would have loved to have a shower, a couple of beers, some catching up time with Nadine and just relax... But instead I was left out in the rain having cycled a pointless 100km detour only to camp 15km outside the city because her boyfriend wasnt comfortable with me staying with her - she could have told me sooner.
She is old enough to make her own decisions in her life and shouldn't be dragged back by a piece of shit boyfriend who won't let her do things. fuck that!
But fuck it. Ok, now that I have that out of my system, but right now I'm writing this with all my belongings being drenched from the downpour earlier in the day. Arrrrrgggg.
I was hoping to make it to Strasbourg for the evening where I could find a hostel to stay at and have that much needed shower that I mention too much of.
Unfortunately I didn't make it, I am exhausted because the head winds picked up in the afternoon preventing me from keeping a decent pace, this was as I cycled on the dike alongside the Rhien.
Annoyed with the wind on this dike I looked for a road parallel to the river and ended up getting lost in some small towns and as it got too dark to cycle, and even too dark to look for a decent camping spot. I camped amongst some trees beside a factory where I knew no one would wake me in the morning because it was the weekend.
Oh, Nadine, if you read this tell your boyfriend to fuck himself. Thanks for nothing.
Trying to get over the Rhien… its a bit difficult when its flooded
finally finding a bridge to cross over the river… the finger is up for someone… but who??? hmmm
stopped here for lunch – i was so hungry, cold and wet. not fun
it looks nice but the headwind was shit.
