Jeannie, Courtney and I biked to Weeze this morning, it took about 3 hours there and back but according to Jeannie's heart rate monitor we burned 921 calories! Once we got to the small German town we decided to explore a little and found an adorable little coffee shop with delicious lattes for under two euros!
Our first trip into Germany we actually had no idea we were in another country. But eventually we did find the welcome sign and decided to pose for a picture.
We also managed to find another castle. As it turns out it is more of a camp ground but it was cool to find just the same and it also inspired us to travel in a different direction because we followed the signs for "Kasteel."

Bikes are also really convenient for getting groceries. Even though the trip into town takes about five minutes total walking would take much longer and this way you don't have to carry the food on the way back!
We do try to bike everyday and have been doing very well so far, exploring each new road we come to and going in all directions. Our sights are set on a trip to Venlo, a rather large town 23 kilometers away and biking through Belgium three weekends from now.
