Decided to ride instead of staying another rest day as the internet cafe was just arond the corner 10 min walk from the hostel.After breakfast and check out at 9 am,I continued to update the blog from where I left off yesterday. Internet charge 2 eur per hr and I spent 3 hr and did some shopping. This way I saved 25 eur! Rode out of the city was not easy,always has to try by error,even if you asked for direction,they often showed a portion of the way and when you reached a junction or roundabout,you were blurred again,the road sign in the city often very confusing,again pumped into the Motorway A4/A35 ended up circling round the city. Finally after a hard time,I am on my way to Saverne,40km from Strasbourg. There was no bike lane on this N4 road but with a 2 ft shoulder, just right for me to ride inside the white line from the heavy traffic. Very flat here , tomorrow should be able to recover some lost km. Bought a 2nd map of France for 7 eur at a petrol station, the first one wasn't good.Decided to camp by 5 pm on this wooded hut about 60m away from the road. The moon and little twinkle stars brightened up the dark sky and also my heart for another good day tomorrow....
