Today we had a short ride, of just 44 km to Osnabrück, where we had arranged to meet up with Esther. Esther is our Swiss friend who will be joining our cycle tour for a couple of weeks.

It was another typical countryside ride, but with a few more hills.

We arrived in Osnabrück early and had a look around the city centre. It is quite large and prosperous with lots of pedestrian malls and cafes.

We relaxed a bit in the hotel before going to meet Esther at the station in the evening. It was great to meet up again for the first time after our tour together in 2015.
