  • Sunny Easter Monday morning ride

    Sunny Easter Monday morning ride

    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 🙂

    Introduction to my new temporary home: Tour around Kluetz

    Today, Sven showed me the surroundings of Kluetz, including the beautiful Schloss Bothmer where, in summer, often classical concerts take place and the Maeuseturm (=tower of mice)

    Hello, hello, hello everybody

    Cycling against the wind… Test ride from Luebeck to Kluetz

    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,…).

    I got it – maybe….

    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 …)

  • Day 20: Dolphins, finally!!

    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.
    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.

    Day 5: Ship explorations

    Tuesday, 26th June 2012, 09:05 AM

    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.

  • News!

    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 of course I got lots of paint on my previously clean body, too 🙂 Ha, ha,… 🙂
     
     
    THEN: 
     
    I finally got the stuff and the number for the bike marathon in Daun….. and it’s only 10 days to go!!!!!
     
     

    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!!!
