Woke up to grey skies and drizzly rain. Not far to go today due to the uneven distances of the camp-sites. We also took a bit of a short cut off the official route and decided to avoid riding around the shore of the Bodensee/Lake Constance.
Today we officially said farewell to Switzerland when we crossed the border in Ramsen. The plan was to carry on across country and then rejoin the Eurovelo route 6 at Singen. Clearly the reason that no maps exist for this section is the fact that they haven't put any signs up yet. At the very least we couldn't find them!
Fortunately we had a compass as we followed the cycle route signs through Singen. If we had stayed on the marked route we would have ended up very west of where we were supposed to be. We soon got ourselves heading back in the right direction and by way of a few of the omnipresent hills we made it to Mülhausen. From there it was a straight ride into Engen.
The camp-site seems nice, although we as yet haven't found anyone to pay and it's at the top of a steep hill. Still it's nice to arrive at lunchtime and have a leisurely afternoon.
We have a long one tomorrow as we pick up the main route along the Danube. A beer may be in order tonight!
PS. A beer was indeed in order, as was a funny evening in the restaurant with some of the camp-site residents. We quickly had all of them discussing the merits/stupidity of trying to cycle to South Africa. All this was translated through the one English speaking resident.
