In a light rain, we rode into town to breakfast at a cafe. By the time we were finished it was chilly enough to wear rain jackets, but no rain.
Today we tried something new. Instead of following the convoluted EuroVelo route, we just plugged in our destination on Google Maps for a cycling route and followed that. We all have our stories about crazy directions from Google, but I think they are getting better, and today's directions were fine. It put us on bike paths alongside secondary highways, country lanes, and pedestrian/bike streets in the towns. A very pleasant three hour ride, with no further rain, and the distance was just what Google said. Munster is a good sized working city, with more bikes than anywhere we've seen except the Netherlands (and China in the 90's), but we didn't see much of it because the weather worsened, and we stayed close to our hotel.
A word about highway advertising signs in the European countries we've ridden through on this trip: none. Makes for a different landscape.
