three maps destroyed, three new ones, with holes in it already. hey, streetmap producers, there are new materials out there, that can be folded also in the wind, and in all directions, without breaking in parts that soon. sort of statistical figures of the tour de july. also less kilometers as usual, 3.500. even that is a new experience, i have to admit, it has something to it.

it started all from berlin, going north on 198, a streetnumber that will be with us for a while. either directly or by crossing. first stop werbellinsee, listening to a waitress who feels stressed by serving two tables at once, also telling without being asked, that their area will be nomansland soon. for her clearly a threat, for me: exactly what i am looking for. less people at the beach, affordable rooms even at high season. altenhof. haus am see has the best view, pension poppe is what we got and was all right, too.

fishrestaurants? well, smoked fish would be best choice, as the others are still swimming – in a mixture of oil and butter.

a little turning and curling on the streets there and for sure a stop at the schiffshebewerk. this time with tour - and the information, that they are planning to build a new one. a little bigger, a little bit newer, a little bit more expensive ...

a little bit offroad training by oderberg, due to summerly road construction. we took some yellow, some white streets after "herzsprung" led us to nowhere. so we had to turn back to good old 198 heading to templin, which i tend to call a village, but was immediately corrected by another waitress in another pension "seeblick.

next day we finally brought 100km distance between us and berlin and reached meckpom. finding a not yet officially marked but nicely renewed barn to stay; at nationalpark müritz, goldenbaum, where aliens are greeting, storks, marmot - i guess, all kind of doves - ¿or are they homers? - sing good night.

streetwise no special tip. it doesn't matter, as all roads are nice, but be aware of cobbled streets. – klopfstein would be the better word for it, though ...

a real change was do to some real sport by using water roads. thanks for that - in hindsight.
