Just another simple day of cycling beside the Rhine, it was only 30km to Strasbourg where I wanted and needed a shower in a hostel. I found the only hostel in the center of town where I checked in meeting one of the receptionists, malcolm who invited me for a few drinks at his place when he finished work at 9pm.
Because I was so tired I relaxed in my room for the afternoon that I shared with a Spanish and also a Mexican guy who we're good guys, Sergio, the Mexican/californian guy joined me to the Malcolm's place for the few beers where I cooked food for Malcolm and his housemates.
You can probably tell that I am a little drunk when writing this but it is 1:30 in the morning and this is exactly what I needed to do, just enjoy myself and have a good time.
I love bouncing about hostels meeting people and telling my story, in the hopes that people will follow in my footsteps and do something similar. Traveling may be daunting but it's fun, I would say.
Anyways, I met some Germans earlier in the evening who gave me beer and we're good fun for the short time I got to know them.
I'm still very tired and need to go to sleep now, so goodnight and I can only hope that the weather is ok for cycling tomorrow.

Reading over his when I am sober, my creative writing skills are not to impressive - I could rewrite it but that would take effort. So, meh! Ill leave it as it is
