Rained hard while we ate breakfast, but only dripping as we rode out of Munster. Very cool and damp. Again on a Google-prescribed route, we rode for a long way along a canal. The path was smooth gravel but muddy, so we and the bike got splattered generously. Around noon we started to get a misty drizzle but we avoided it at a conveniently located gasthof where we lunched on one more pork schnitzel. This one was different, with pears and cheese. After a few more km we reached the outskirts of Tecklenburg and got a reminder of what "burg" means: castle. They didn't build castles on the low spots. Not a mountaintop, actually, just a medium sized steep hill. We struggled to the top to a surprise- our hotel is in a quaint old tourist-popular small town built beside the site of the old castle, now a large manor house. An interesting spot and a good hotel, marred only by an extra slow internet connection. Tomorrow will have a fast downhill start!
