September 16, 2024,Papenburg - Emden Etappe 7

That was the last stage of the Ems cycle path.
The crossing with the small ferry from Ditzum to Petkum across the Ems was the icing on the cake today.
The week went by quickly and we were so lucky with the weather.
Tomorrow we're going to Borkum for a few days to relax.
