Möhringen, Duitsland

Goeie naand!

Ek het vanoggend besluit om nie die KLR vol te maak nie. Dis nou tyd om te kyk hoe ver ek op 'n tenk brandstof kan kom. Vannaand staan die afstand reeds op 403 km. Sal binne die volgende 20 - 30 km volmaak. Ek glo ek sou 500 km kon haal.

Vanaf Pfronten tot by Möhringen het ek net klein paadjies gery. Dit was werklik lekker. Die dorpies het vinnig opmekaar gevolg en soms was die woud so dig dat mens skaars die bewolkte hemel bo jou kon sien.

Ek kuier nou by vriende, Anne en Archie Rebstock. Anne het in Ethiopie kom kuier. Die weersiens is daarom ekstra spesiaal. Ons het 'n kers in nog 'n kerk gaan aansteek. Vir die hele duur van my toer het sy elke week vir my daar 'n kers gaan aansteek.

Terwyl ons daar was, het 'n verwoedelike haelbui uitgesak. Dit het soos 'n wintertoneel met sneeu gelyk. Gelukkig was die KLR onder dak ...

Ek het nog iets beleef wat my totaal stil gemaak het. 'n Vriend van Anne en Archie het vir my 'n lied komponeer! Toe ek hier kom, met my vuil ryklere aan, moes ek eers gaan sit om na die lied te luister. Dit was werklik besonders! Baie dankie Michael Wissussek! Ek ken jou nie maar jou musiek is wonderlik!

Ek gaan Maandag die lied op die internet sit. Gaan luister gerus daarna.

Geniet die naweek, en kyk spesiaal Sondagaand na die dagboek.

Groete


Good evening!

I decided not to fill up the KLR this morning. I wanted to see how many km's I could do on the KLR. The tacho reads 403 km this evening. I will fill up within the next 30 - 40 km. I believe I could do 500 km on this tank.

I used only small (secondary) roads from Pfronten to Möhringen. It was an exciting ride. The villages were quite close to each other, and quite often the forest was so dense that one couldn't see the heaven, covered with thick rain clouds, above.

I am visiting two old friends of mine, Anne and Archie Rebstock. Anne came to visit me in Ethiopia. First we had to go to their church where we lit a candle. For the duration of my trip every week she lit a candle for me there.

While we were there a heavy hail storm crossed the area. It looked like a winter scene: Everything was white. Fortunately the KLR was not standing outside.

Again I experienced something that made me dumb struck. A friend of Anne and Archie, Michael Wissussek, composed a song specially for me. Michael, I don't know you, but thank you so much! I do appreciate it!

I love the music of the song.I will upload it on Monday. Make and effort and listen to that.

Enjoy your weekend. Don't forget to take a look at the blog on Sunday night!
