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 🙂

Hello, hello, hello everybody
today is the first day I don’t have to do anything anymore – and it feels G-O-O-D 😀 (mehr …)

One week before I move out and two to three weeks before the scheduled start of my trip, I did my first test ride with about half my luggage (some normal clothes in my bikepacking bag and my handle bar for wallet, camera, phone,…).

19 days after the previous post…. I suppose that has to increase a lot if I want to do blog writing as part of my job 😉
Thing is that until Friday morning not much has changed. (mehr …)

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.
After that, I took a trip to the forecastle. The water is even smoother than usual, and there is trash floating by that you don’t normally see between the waves.
On the other hand, there are hardly any flying fish to be seen.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!
After my blues day yesterday, today’s going just great 🙂

Cabin fever
Today I already woke up in a bad mood, but that’s the first time since I’ve been on the ship.
At least I have good reasons for being in a bad mood: a week of
fatty, sweet food, no exercise, no tasks, and no one to talk to beyond small talk.
Besides that: hardly any fresh air (because the weather wasn’t so great), always the same surroundings, and no (mental) input.
Today there is some news!!
First of all: I’m officially blue…..unfortunately I had to delete the pictures of me because they all looked stupid…but I have a picture of the final result:
![]() |
| tool shed after my paint job 🙂 |
And my body is already preparing for this event, too – unfortunately without asking permission.
I try to convince myself that this is some self-cleaning function I haven’t been aware of until now:
for the last two days everything I’ve been eating turns into liquid…..really strange….and NO, it’s not nerves – not yet :-P. It might be the water I drank from a stream three days ago but I refuse to believe that our clean German stream water is not drinkable!!!
So, I stick with the self-cleaning theory and hope that my body is clean enough soon. I obviously don’t need any more weight reduction otherwise I’m going to be blown off my bike by the start signal next week.
This is what hopefully helps to get my body back on track:
I haven’t tried that stuff before, therefore: keep your fingers crossed!!!
