I cross the Nibelungen bridge and return to the left bank again.
Over the Nibelungen bridge over the Rhine is the town of Worms.
The Nibergen bridge known for Das Nibelungenlied
The stage of the Das Nibelungenlied is on the banks of the Rhine river, especially on Worms.

I also bought bread at Riddle.
Take it out with a stick to the right space, pack it in a bag and go to checkout

In the calculation place, I arrange them on a belt conveyor in this way and person in charge read them with a barcode reader and I pack them in bags myself.

I say hello to a cashier. And I will show her the goods on the belt conveyor.
She or he calculates one by one, using a bar code reader.

When I finish the calculation and payment is done, I say thank you or Tschuss,good bye.

Then, words come back.
Alles Gute,Auf Wiedersehen
Take care, see you again.
It sounds like to say.

Since the price is not including consumption tax,It takes me a lot of time to pay with coins.
SoI am trying to pay with 10, 20 euros, so a lot of coins come back.
As a result, I always have plenty of coins.

Luther Memorial
In 1520, Luther wrote "a book to give to German Christian nobles" "church Babylonian gods" "Christian freedom". Next January 3, 1521, Pope Leo X excommunicated Luther.

In the continuation of this flow, Emperor Karl V also declared a heretic to Luther. And He decided to put Luther outside the protection of all laws.
Luther became a person who can not be protected at all by law.

King Friedrich have hidden Luther in Wartburg castle on the outskirts of Eisenach. In that place, Luther accomplished the feat of translating the Bible into German.

The memorial image of Luther with the Bible lies in the park of Worms Cathedral and declares "I stand here."
The left,statue of Saxony-Friedrich , The right,statue of Philip I.

It is easy to run.

Even when a car overtakes, as you can see, The track went thrugh spaced widely.

Although we can see signs,
I can run this road by bicycle.

However, it is such a state.
It is quite difficult to run on a bicycle.
1310
I am running a bike path along the Rhine.
I met with a German middle-aged couple who is relaxing on the river bank of the town of Niestein and I greeted and talked.

I said, I came from Japan, and from Basel to here with bicycling.
They say, ... Great ... amazing ...
We have had such a conversation, and

This German couple says, "Many German, French, and Dutch people can speak German, French, Dutch and English a lot, there are many bilingual people.
However British people can not speak any language other than English. It is unfair".
Certainly, the German people I saw, everyone spoke English.

In this way, it would be desirable to have a separate cart style.
You can stack lots of luggage. And less burden on wheels and tires.

Platz Maia Laue Camping Site N50.00.06 E08.17.09
11 euro, with shower

Since the free site is wide, I was at a loss where should I set up the tent.

A person who brought a bicycle from Brussels next built a tent, so I talk about various things, but I can not speak fluent English.so I can not talk about complicated things.
Because I forgot to ask his name,now I call him as MR Waffle.
MR Waffle he said he was on his way to Prague now.
And he seems to love to travel by bicycle.
Later that.last night, a young man who set up a tent near me with Lingenfeld came to this campground also.

Hello, I greeted him" I am glad to see you again".

We became a three-way conversation between Mr. Waffle and yesterday's young person and I.

They started talking in German.I could not understand the conversation. so I had been left behind. I pretended to understood and I was listening.

today's weather fine    Run distance116km


I bought a converter like left picture at 100 yen shop,
When used in practice, the part of the arrow got caught and could not come out.
Mr Waffle, who has a powerful hand like Barr, tried to out it, but the converter did not come out anyway. With waffle 's advice to use a tool, I brought a radio pliers from a bicycle tool and tried it out, it came out.
After that, We decided to pull out with this radio pliers when this kind of thing happened during charging.
