23/8/10 We don't see much when we ride in the rain. Headed for a McDonalds, buying a coffee to rent a dry seat for a while and use the toilet. Nearing Hamburg, on the flats, the wind is strong enough to have encouraged probably more than a thousand windmills, batches of 20-50 dot the countryside, and more are being built. Sticking as close to the coast as reasonable we took a ferry across the massive Elbe River, the one that Hamburg uses for its shipping, one of the worlds largest ports. Took another Levee, holding back the Elbe River

caravan park camp alongside the river, behind the massive flood barrier, which we walked along in the evening, once the rain had cleared.

24/8/10 Still a strong head wind but dry. Another small ferry just north of Bremen, followed a canal towards the Netherlands and crossed over mid afternoon, with more windmills lining the border.
