Made it to Berlin today. In the morning it was really cold and for the first time I had to bring out my warmer clothing layers. Also, while I was in the Wittenberg district the bike roads were pretty bad. This all changed as I got closer to Potsdam. Had a shower at a public swimming pool, then the sun came out, the roads got great and the landscape a lot more interesting. As it was a Sunday, everybody made use of the good weather and went to the beautiful countryside around Potsdam with their boats and bicycles. So many people! It felt a bit strange after having seen so very few people in the days before. I never knew how beautiful the area is, as I had only been to Berlin city before.

Fortunately I get to stay in the beautiful flat of Daniel and Anne, who are currently on a cycling trip themselves. Thank you so much! 😊

In the evening I went for a little ride without my luggage to grab dinner. Man, it is insane without all that weight! Judging by the acceleration, this is what it must feel like to ride an e-bike. 😁 So my legs have definitely become stronger during this past week.

I will now have 3 rest days in Berlin, as there is some heavy rain expected on Wednesday.
