I got up at 8 and had brekkie of cheese and mushroom omelette and tea. I chatted to two young guys from Koln and said goodbye to the family of four on two recumbent bikes. The boys were up front reading books as they left. I turned left out of campsite hoping to get on the main road, but the track I was on had no easy access, so I eventually pushed the bike through a ditch to get there. The road was really busy but not a problem for me as I coasted past all the traffic at the lights. Then once over the bridge I turned left and right to find a quieter route but within minutes the rain started. I hid under a tree for a while but decided to go on as it looked to be set in. I got very wet and found refuge in an imbiss (snack stop) called Ali Baba in Seehaus for a coffee under an umbrella, followed by a bar of Milka chocolate to give me the energy to carry on. It was just stopping as I left and found a great road alongside the railway track to Behrend, which was fantastic apart from the holes in the road, but it kept me on my toes to find a good route through and I was rewarded by the sight of a young deer in front of me and then running alongside me as I spooked it. This was followed by an eagle taking flight right in front of me and then a beautiful captive deer in somebody’s garden.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I rejoined the main road but now it had a good cycle path alongside, which was magnificent going through pine forests. I then joined a cycle route but chose to go on the road as the surface was terrible. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The road was good and I stopped off for a late lunch of cheese and bread outside a church with a cycling mural. I then had the choice of 4 or 15 miles to the next campsite and feeling better for some food I chose the marina here. It was a good ride and there were lots of wind turbines to keep me company.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The city itself is quite strange with lots of lovely buildings and lots of cobbled streets but it also seems quite run down in places. I set up my tent and went to Lidl to buy brekkie and beer. Then found a very good Greek restaurant for dinner after hearing how good it was from a barman at the Dark Moon pub. I had souvlaki and laughed with another diner about the noise of the storks.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m now sat by the river listening to the party going on next to my campsite in the boathouse. I was told earlier that it’s a private party so I may just visit the Black Moon to see if anyone has arrived. I hope it gets busy later on, as he was a nice guy with a lovely family. It feels like I need a Saturday night out just for a change and there’s no point trying to sleep at my tent just yet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
