October 13, 2024,Hafen Aurich-Klosterstätte Ihlow-Ihler Meer

We set off from Aurich harbor to the monastery in Ihlow in typical East Frisian weather (rain, storm, and sun). In the cafe by the monastery church, we had tea and a delicious piece of East Frisian cake. After refreshment, we headed back past the Ihler Meer to Aurich. Despite the weather 🌤️💨🌧️☂️, it was a lovely bike ride.

Didn't go fast, didn't get far, but had a lot of fun.
With regular stops for food, of course.
And the weather played along too, it was neither too hot nor cold nor rainy.
Always my pleasure!
