The H2H began as planned today... OK, not exactly as planned, but at least it began. You see, it went like this: we had planned to leave about midday, but then Russell lost my housekey and had to drive back to the store he thought he had lost it in (and no, he didn't find it). Then I couldn't find my sunglasses. Then Dave... well, what can one say? Dave is Dave rather like "Mir san mir" describes Bavarians. Bottom line: we left at 2:15. Then there were photos to take, and finally we were off.
It was, as I had expected raining... Not a hard rain, but enough to make us wear our raingear. We stopped in Wolfratshausen for Sally to buy a Camel Pak (flexible water container, for those who don't know it) and then continued as planned along the Isar towards Einoed.
About an hour and a half later, after a short break, Sally drops a bombshell: she thinks that she left her money belt (with all her money, her passport, her drivers license, etc.) either in or just outside the sports store in Wolfratshausen!
General consternation. What to do? We decide to do what all intrepid explorers would do: call for help. Lidia wasn't at home, so we called Arnulf. Arnulf took charge, found the number of the store, called them and explained what to look for and where... no luck. So Sally and I take a taxi back to the store... and find the belt! It was black and in a plastic bag... in a bin full of black things in plastic bags: it wasn't surprising that even though they knew where to look, the store people hadn't found it.
Back to Geretsried where Russ and Dave were still sitting by the side of the road and we continue. I only make one significant mistake (which nevertheless costs us about a km) and we arrive at the Landgasthof Beham about 19:40... quite hungry but still very happy to have survived Day 1.
