Ossenburg to Millingen an dee Rijn. Going Dutch.

Mileage:- 45 miles
Total mileage:- 788 miles.
Hotel:- hotel Millings Centrum. 
We enjoyed our evening meal in Rhine Berg Hotel, much quieter than in the night before in Dusseldorf. 
An early start today and we were on good cycle paths. We made good progress up to Xanten. Stopped here to visit the cathedral and buy lunch. There were also Roman remains and an amphitheatre, but did not have time.back on to the path and the dyke. No flood diversions today, but one diversion due to work on the dyke.
We had lunch on the dyke, with a view of both the river and the Wunderland Kalkar. A theme park, built in an old disused nuclear power station. We were not tempted. 
Jenny has had a squeak for a couple of days, it is now loud enough that heads turn as we go through towns. John P has had bearing problems. Thankfully both ate to be sorted at a bike shop close to the hotel. 
We saw a tour group in Xanten, in order to listen to the guide they all had to wear clogs.
We are now in Holland, the sign shows Eurovelo 15, the first for a long time.
