Nearing the end

I'm nearing the end of my vacation, and I'm sad about that.

I've seen so much on this trip, yet there's so much I haven't had time for. I easily have enough hints to occupy another dozen vacations. There's no question where my vacations will launch from for the upcoming years.

I doubt I'm going to add any more countries to my diary before I fly out on Friday. I just crossed into Spain today, and need to start heading back out tomorrow.

The final itinerary has me sleeping in Heidelberg Thursday night, so I'm rested, organized, and bike put to bed before my flight out Friday afternoon. I might be in the north end of Germany mid-day Thursday to see one last friend. That leaves me about 3.5 days of riding left, and I'm about 2 days of solid (and not very vacationy) riding from northern Germany.

This block of riding coming up is quite refreshing to me, to be honest. Lots of relaxing hours on the bike, maybe enough time to finish my current audiobook and start the next. Much as I like seeing new things, new things require stops and pictures and interruptions. Often, I just want to ride, to feel the road under me.
