| I had no map of Germany and no bicycle numbers. I knew the cities I wanted to come to but was very used to following bicycle paths and numbers like in the Netherlands. I did well to get to Leuth, Germany but after that I got lost a lot and found that when I changed direction all the time, it took the GPS a long time to reset it's direction. I decided I needed a map to go with the GPS and started looking where I might get one. I tried a bicycle store and had no luck because they could not speak Dutch or English. I was exasperated in Viersen and totally lost in the bush a few times. The elderly people I talked to did not know English and so I decided to only speak to young ones and 2 of them helped me out. Finally I found a bookstore and walked my bicycle right into the store which wasn't busy yet and the salesgirl and I looked at myriads of maps before we found a suitable one for the area I was to cover. I was lost forever in Viersen and so happy when I found a "yellow road". The yellow roads all have bicycle paths next to them and once I was on the first one , I had no more trouble finding my way to Neuss. No more zigzag bicycle paths for me today. |
