Quickborn, Germany
Today was the day I've been dreading since I landed in Dublin: the box rebuilding day. And it was not nearly as bad as I feared. Heike, the dear that she is, had already retrieved 2 enormous bike boxes for me. They are probably from ebikes. And they are really heavy cardboard. Oh. Ohh. Gonna add weight to the already heavy bike and a weight limit of 70 lbs and no way to test it before going to the airport. But it's built!!! Heike was seriously impressed! Ye of little faith, as we say:)
The other problem has been finding a box for the rest of my stuff. And don't ya know, when Heike went to the dumpster to throw away the scraps of cardboard she came back with 2 box possibilities. I think one will work fine as long as I pitch any unnecessary items and pack carefully leaving no air pockets.
So the plan is to go into Hamburg alone tomorrow by train and take another Free Tour. I'll have done 3 if the 12 available. I really enjoy the history and humor:)
And we've had some delightful evening bike rides. So it's been a peasant, relaxing visit. Heike and I never fail to laugh and have fun:)))
Lights out. Busy last day in Europe and 24 hour trip home. I should pedal home from Newark - probably get there faster!
