Breakfast with a view of the Elbe. The sun is shining, the flags are blowing in the wind.
The double lock South connects the Mittellandkanal with the Elbe-Havel canal. On its banks it goes on well-developed paths to castle. On the way, two columns of soldiers in full marching gear, their faces colored

First of all, the brake on the rear wheel dismantled and cleaned, all full of sand, which did not let the wheel turn properly. The landlady still asks, where and where, from London ....

On the usual good bike paths it goes east, what changes is the landscape. Often forest, even a "mountain", up to almost 100 meters it goes up. In Apeldoorn I'm back at sea level.

For today the last piece to Berlin. The sun is laughing and only a light breeze blows, even though it was already cool in the autumn for the time being. And so it went through the Havelland, through small villages with old churches, past harvested fields, the tractors worked. It smelt of fresh earth
