After a cosy night in the tent it is a surprise to find it is so cold outside! We break camp quickly and pedal to the bakery in the nearby village for coffee and buns to wait for the sun to warm everything up. Then we are off north East, taking some sandy wald-weg ( woodland tracks ) where we spot a tiny new deer hiding in the leaves very near us. Then dedicated cycle paths through rolling countryside of big wheat fields and potato farms.
We complete 77 miles to our hosts, who live in a big house in a little village, but are originally from Berlin. They have young relatives also visiting from Berlin, and we enjoy a very convivial barbecue, discussing that city we know quite well. Home made beer goes down a treat with the mackerel and bratwurst.
