Baltic Sea Travelogue (3)

(Cycling) With 130 kms in our legs we are not picky about campsites. “Wow.” – “This looks like something terrible happened and everyone had to run away… 30 years ago!” We find actual residents* and get an explanation: “Yeah, two years ago everything here was flooded, this campsite is the only place that’s recovered again!” (* maybe not zombies, my memory is pretty vague)

Nice zombies anyway. If you ever look for a place to spend the apocalypse at, I can only recommend this one. And it will quickly recover.

Baltic Sea Travelogue (2)

(Cycling) Baltic Sea Biketour – we have not the most perfect weather. “At least the milk won’t turn sour now.” – “We’ll need so much less water!” – “We don’t even have to shower today!” – “And our chocolate can’t melt away!” It’s completely advantageous… almost. “Next time I’ll have more sugar.”

And to prove that we also had some lovely weather, here’s a handful of photos:

Baltic Sea Travelogue (1)

(Cycling) Baltic Sea Biketour (with my orienteering friend) “Should we maybe plan a route for this?” – “Nonsense! Baltic Sea is in the North, we’ll find that! If not, we can ask passers-by.” (After 70 km later) “‘Scuse me, could you direct us to the Baltic Sea, please?”

Only four months late, here are the memories from this year’s summer holiday! As long as I still remember something…
In spite of our huge disinclination to plan things, we did not only rely on the compass in the end, but we used a GPS and followed a track we had got using the splendid GPSies planning tool: “one track for bicycles from Jena to Rostock, please”. This worked amazingly well and most of the time we travelled on rather quiet and even pretty cycle tracks… does anyone else dare try this method?
