| Tour | Bike & Boat Stralsund-Berlin - MS Princess | Bike and Boat along the Oder from the Baltic Sea to Berlin | SE Tours | $2780.00 |
From the old Hanseatic city of Stralsund you will sail along the unique Bodden coast to Germany’s largest islands, Rügen and Usedom. The Bay of Szczecin will lead you to the Polish city of Szczecin with its magnificent castle. You will then continue on through the peaceful, unique Oder landscape to Schwedt and then to Eberswalde and Oranienburg on the Oder-Havel Canal through an expanse of forests until you have reached your destination, the metropolis of Berlin.
You will mostly be biking on car-free paths, rural country roads with little traffic and asphalted bike lanes but also on dusty field paths and dirt roads, with a few short sections on federal highways. “Pleasure-biking” - The routes are mostly flat with some hilly parts, although there will be a few steep inclines and downgrades. |

| We went first thing today to get our official rapid tests done. The test kiosk is being run out of a pub here in Stralsund. The tests they’re using seem to be pretty much the same as the tests you can buy yourself here from the Apoteke. We were both relieved to have our official tests come back negative. | |

We spent the afternoon at the Ozeaneum, which was interesting. Then we had a beer at the pier until it was time to board the ship.
Boarding the ship was easy except for the old guy who wiped out straight into Brent and knocked him over. Thankfully he landed on his backpack and there was no harm done. Apparently we are the only English speakers on board so we have been assigned to Table 18 for meals, sitting with a staff member who speaks English. Let the adventure begin. |
