Transition Town Leamington

This may be my last post for a few days. I'm travelling now. We shall see.

Andreas continued to give me the guided tour of this charming town and the hills around. The castle (Burg not Schloss), is a stunner, as are the views down onto the city. We walk and talk, mainly about alternative lifestyles and the inevitable end of the oil. I have to check out Transition Town Leamington when I get home. They have a project going that may be interesting. Fellow travellers with an eye to the future. Sunshine with just enough cloud to avoid sunburn.

Sushi! I just had the best meal for two years. There are some other contenders, but my first experience of Japanese food really hit the spot. The chef is polish, such is Europe.

This morning I am too relaxed. I need to shake a leg and get my stuff together. I have to get everything back onto Elsa, which will take some fiddling. I have six hours without breaks ahead of me, including the ferry from the German baltic coast to Rodby, Denmark. This evening I am in Moens Klint, amidst the dinosaur fossils and near to the white cliffs overlooking Katagat.  I can almost smell the salt in the air already. Sorry for my clumsy spelling. Tuesday I cross the awesome bridge from Copenhagen to Malmo, and on up a quiet highway, heading for home.

Enough for now. Load up, and an autobahn to negotiate.
