​

I left the Elbe and headed west this morning which meant some climbing out of the Elbe Valley over some hills and eventually getting to the River Mulde.  Two sharp thunderstorms delayed me, and it took longer to get here than I imagined.  However, my budget T3 Motel people are very friendly and had somewhere safe for my bike, had beers for sale, and phoned the local pizza takeaway for home delivery pizza for me.  Something I would not ever dream of at home.  I make my own sourdough pizza, of course !.  But very welcome at the end of a long day.

​

I guess the highlight of the day was passing through Colditz.  See the video (https://youtu.be/WLW6rl7fkPk). "For you ze var is ended". That tickles me.  You have to be of a certain age to understand that.

Tomorrow will be on overland to meet up with the Main, and then further west along to Main to Franfurt.

​

All round here is Saxony - Upper, Lower and Middle.  I always thought the Saxons were from far further north ?  It's very Saxon / German.
