23rd June We went for breakfast in Goch, sampling pastries in a local bakery and German coffee – which had quite a kick and then visited the garage and got the leisure battery installed. Next door to the garage was a giant Drink Shop – so we naturally stocked up and got on the road to Xanten by about 3pm. We arrived at a stellplatz where the attendant spoke no English and barely a word of German that was comprehensible. He directed us to a spot and then stood pulling all sorts of moves like we had done something wrong – we still don’t know what though! We opted to have a late lunch and then cycle into Xanten, it was so hot that we didn’t go far. There was a large Gothic style cathedral and a windmill for the tourists and in the main square was a large fountain which all the locals were congregating around eating ice cream. We cycled back home uphill to the site and basked in the hot sunshine planning the next few days again.
