Day 4 Neidermormter- Kaiserswerth

  Set off from Neidermormter nice cycle tracks and country roads to Xanten for morning coffee. Really nice looking town. Site of an old roman town looks like it is worth another visit. On over our first hill according to the map! Didn't really count! On to Orsoy for lunch good lunch despite not knowing what we were ordering (must learn the lingo) then ferry across the river, mistake. 
Very industrial arrived in Duisburg city spent an hour trying to find our way back out the other side ended up doubling back on ourselves to get back on the West Bank. For all you bike tourers stay on the West Bank,Duisburg seemed pretty grotty and not worth the hassle. The last 20 miles were pretty straight forward despite some help from a recumbent cyclist who didn't know his North from his South!  We eventually arrived at a great campsite, right on the riverbank, with wine in the fridge and complimentary plastic chairs. Luxury!

Miles today - 72
Miles total - 221
Hills total - 1 ( a wee pimple!)

We're both pretty chuffed with the number of miles we're covering, if we could only link them up in the right direction we'd be laughing!
