The Barum Shuffle...

It was difficult to drag ourselves away from breakfast with Susan and Christian as they are so interesting, S an art restorer in the local East German museum and C a piano teacher who also made the divine blackberry jam. Also plays a good game of Dutch Shuffleboard, a game we were introduced to last night.


S speaks excellent English, so we learnt a lot about her life in the old East Germany.
Not far up the road we cross the wide Elbe river at the very old port of Lauernburg, where it is worth negotiating the big cobbles on the streets to see the ancient old brick built centre and pick up the first wifi in days at a riverside cafe; so we post a couple of blogs.
Next onto a tree-lined canal path, reminding us of the Canal du Midi. There are other tourers, including families, with even the littlest carrying big panniers.
