We saw: The most weird dotted horse and 2 to 70+ old gay men going for a picnic on their bikes with a trolley full of beer.
We ate: herrings and German sausage with potatoes
We pedaled: 58.5 Km
Our average speed: 20 km/h
We slept: Hotel Zum Alten Shifferhaus, Lauenburg
One more day of biking in German lands. After Flensburg, we have to admit that things are getting better. Leaving Hamburg was filled with industrial landscapes, first the anti-flood dam, then green houses: kilometers of plastic covering their nice flowers and strawberries. But slowly we got into a beautiful forest, deep inside, and thanks to the amount of rain, the Germans have had, we could still smell the mushrooms.
Boris' invention of the day: he fixed our small tripod to my handle bar and I have officially a traveling camera with me all the time. Unfortunately do to the rain, I could not use it very much. But we pedaled and pedaled and we arrived to the nice little town of Lauenberg. Typical German. Flowers in their balconies and stone streets.
And the hotel: not for the Posh Biking list at all, but with some character. The owner is a woman who could also be a man. She smiles very little and wants cash up front. She likes rules and wants her guests to follow them. When she lets you get a bit closer to her, you can notice that her nails are manicured with the GERMAN FLAG!!!!!!!!!
"Willkommen", she said, "Don't be late for breakfast"

OMG, i wish you got a photo of the German Flag nails! How amazing is that!
ReplyDeleteRules. Does that sign on the toilet lid indicate "No Pee Standing Up" or "No Pee Standing up with toilet seat down"?
And that horse. I can't look at it for too long. Kinda of freaks me out.
