After 2 weeks of The Netherlands it's time to progress into Germany. From Arnhem we will follow the Rhine southwards into Germany. We're not finished with NL however, we will return to IJmuiden to get the ferry back to Newcastle.
We went in search of maps for Germany today in Arnhem. Being so close and on the Rhine bike route we thought the VVV (tourist info) would have something but they had absolutely hee-haw. It was suggested we tried an outdoor shop a few doors down. They had plenty maps but not what we were after. We were pointed in the direction of a map shop a few minutes away further into the city. If anywhere has the map we're after it's them. Right enough we got the appropriate map to see us through. I think it is also a guidebook with information on nearby attractions but its entirely in German. The maps are nicely detailed with supermarkets, campsites, restaurants etc marked on them. We are currently unsure how long we will follow the Rhine and as a result how long we'll spend in Germany before making our way back to the ferry.
As always keep an eye on the map (on the Where am I page) and you can follow me on Twitter, it's @pedalpoweredeu.
