Rißtissen to Riedlingen

45, total 890
We sleep in this morning. Ian does some bike maintenance and Kay attempts to explain Mabo and the stolen generation to Johanna for her Australia project. Paul Kelly and Midnight Oil songs help.
We've learnt that the ever present corn crops are used for power generation. The German govt subsidises it as they don't want nuclear stations. The solar panels also give a very good return. Forgot to ask how many forests get chopped down for firewood but my guess is they are sustainable. Today is a public holiday, German Unity Day, so the roads are quiet.
