What else happen?
Schlussbemerkungen zu einer sehr schönen Reise
Please note: this text is an automatic translation with Systran
If one is a far distance alone on the way, one can think over the past days. The Geknatter of Toms Shadow and the familiar sight of Hans is missing to me somehow, pin straight sitting on its Harley. Normandy gladly times again, but rather outside of the season. The military-historical part has I now inside light, jezt may it please somewhat more culture be, has normandy nevertheless at least which those gothical Katedralen and the medieval monasteries concerns some to offer. I would photograph the port of Honfleur gladly times in the morning light and would regard the carpet of Bayeux I also gladly times.
Suddenly I awake out mean thoughts, when my tank announcement announces itself and I with Kaiserslautern a gas station head for. A while ago was I still with full tank in lux castle, there was worth the stop not yet and which now? A litre regular grade fuel 1.444 euro? As I one week ago long-came here lay the price somewhere with 1,159. It happens if one receives one week long no messages and in such a way does not notice that as cause for substantial price usury use oil companies the eddy tower.
From the planned brisk return journey now a cosy strolling travel became against 20:00 again in Berlin ended. And which runs in the TV? Der Soldat James Ryen. A few days before we confessed US soldier cemetery still to the fictitious film grave on that. Strange feeling.
Who itself a little for the history 1. and 2. World war interested comes with this route fully at his expense. One can spend weeks with the inspection here.
Keyword costs: France is quite expensive from German view. I spent approximately 1,000, - - euro on this route in 8 days on accommodation, meal, entrance, duty and gasoline. No Mitbringsel (Calvados etc.) and no useless cash dispensing made. For the duty went altogether approx. 30,- drauf.
At the historicalpregnant places in normandy I did not feel as a tourist welcomely however as German always. That may be fancy meinerseits and have the Frenchmen probably also all reason in addition, but that is for a long time ago. At the memorial of Verdun the bronze board with the reconciliation of France and Germany stands and in such a way holds I it also.
Incidents did not have we on this journey, refrains one times from abvibrierten starter cables at Rudis a Harley. With our cosy driving fashion there were no special occurrences. The cable was then also soon repaired on a friendly gas station.
This was my 2. France journey. The region Calvados/Normandie pleased me thereby very much better than the banks of the Loire in central France. Here in normandy the roads and the landscape are simply more varied. A small disadvantage for me as a citizen of Berlin are the endless journey ways. From Berlin to our base hotel in Arromanches there is on direct way 1.250km and with the detour over Sinsheim 1.500km. that is a tidy piece of distance.
My thanks apply for all Mitreisenden and in particular Bernd, which prepared this route greatly. I hope, I seh you all soon times again.
