=> as usual the english is not the best on Tour <=

It didn't seem that much to me today, I was thinking about other things. And yes, it is really beautiful here. In the morning I got out early and could make kilometers before it got hot. Did not have to pay much attention to the road or traffic. It went almost the whole day on signposted paths next to the canals along, partly even very shady. At noon I had already 100 km on it and was already thinking about slipping through to Orléans. Would have been still 120 km. Would have been there about 8 pm or later, that would have meant 2 nights in Orléans to spend, and I've decided to plan from day to day (Carpe Diem). Doing laundry and recharging batteries takes time, plus I had to see a doctor. For days I have been noticing an inflammation forming on the scar from my surgery. Nothing wild but swelling and pressure pain, stupid. The sun was beating down more and more violently and I made another decision and got off in Gien, immediately washed clothes and put batteries on it and went in search of the doctors. I was very aware that it was Sunday, but check situation and that was good, because in front of each practice was, please first make an appointment. So I went back to the hotel and asked the hotelier how it works. After some back and forth he called the hospital and drove me up there afterwards. Wow so nice. Tip: if you have a medical emergency abroad always ask the people from the hotel / accommodation how it works here. So far I have always been helped. At the hospital they treated me well, literally, and sent me home with the meds I wanted. So tomorrow I will go on, maybe not quite as far, hoping that this will work as I imagine it will not get worse. After 2 or 3 days we will know more. So, that was then again such a day I will not forget, in this sense....
