Ride from Munich to Sinsheim. In the morning I get ready for the ride from Brian & Barbara to my mother in Sinsheim. The weather does not look very good. It's rainy, but I'm lucky and don't get into heavy rain. This kind of rain is kept out from my motorcycle clothes quite well. Since I leave the house with Barbara shortly after 9 o'clock and the traffic is not so heavy, I manage to arrive in Sinsheim at 12 o'clock even with refueling on my way. To get ot my mother's house isn't easy, because there are diversions and road closures everywhere because of roadworks for installing new pipes for long distance heating. Therefore I can only park the motorcycle in a small street nearby, where I have to park it outdoors. I hope that affect the bike somehow! Because there's continuous rain for the following days.

However, I miss nothing, because I caught a cold of some heavier sort, so that I spend a lot of time in bed during Wednesday and Thursday. Incidentally, I try to work on the images and data of the journey and put them online.

I took a ot of pictures (about 1000) and I have to try to assign the photos to the tracks first (geo tagging). But in the end it works quite well.

In the following days I'm still not feeling well. The bike has been outside since my arrival, very often in heavy rain. I hope it will not blame me for that.

By the end of the week I ready with sorting out pictures and writing the texts for my travel diary. Actually I wanted to go back to Hamburg at the weekend, but because the roof renovation at the house of my mother delayed because of the rain, I decide to ride on Tuesday. On Monday, most of the problems with the craftsmen are supposed to be resolved.

When I return on Tuesday, I will have been traveling for a total of 26 days. The yearning for home and for Brigitte is big.
