Extra trip to Heilgendamm - meet a school friend who is on holiday in Kühlungsborn. Despite the high temperatures, it surprisingly went quite well with an appropriate speed. In the ghost forest and on the wooded sections of the Baltic Sea Cycle Route, the temperatures were even pleasant and there were relatively few cyclists on the trail.

Today our destination was once again the Schwanencafé in Heiligendamm. As always, the coffee and cake were top notch. 🍰☕
On our way home we had to use the large "car wash" from Warnemünde. However, the drying program didn't work at 6° C, so we had to make do with pre-wash, main wash and rinsing. 😂
