    After a surprisingly refreshing night, I woke up around 5 AM when they started to prepare the market on the square in front of the building which also didn’t really bother me.

    Today, I woke up pretty tired and feeling stiff. Also the weather forecast wasn’t very optimistic, so I decided to cycle a rather short route along the Old Salt Road, meaning along the Elbe-Luebeck channel to Lauenburg at the Elbe river.

    Yesterday it was sunny, so we „had“ to go outside and cycled through snow and mud to the coast of the Baltic Sea near Steinbeck. We ended the tour in the café Miluh with some yummie chocolate cake 🙂

    Day 20: Dolphins, finally!!

    Wednesday, 11th July 2012

    After eight hours of sleep, I woke up in a great mood and full of energy. After breakfast, I went cycling for an hour. Then I took a shower and did some reading by the pool while Hamadou scrubbed my cabin.

    On the other hand, there are hardly any flying fish to be seen.
