We haven’t seen Frank and Bob since we left Poland. I hope they haven’t been detained. ;)
A couple days ago Brent said that he finally feels completely better from Covid. No more residual fatigue. I’m not so lucky yet. I’m still coughing a bit and still fatigued. I’m sleeping more than normal and still tired. I feel like I could just lay down anytime. Hopefully that clears for me soon. Today is another day of sittin’ on the ship in the morning and then riding in the afternoon. We’ve been so fortunate with the weather. Almost no rain to speak of and very pleasant temperatures. High-teens, maybe low 20s for the whole tour so far. |

We had a nice ride to Eberswalde today, with the highlight being watching our ship go up the Niederfinow Boat Lift. We knew that our ship was due to arrive there at 1pm so we kept our dillying and dallying to a minimum to make sure we got there. Brent thought it was 1:30. Good thing Brent was right because we didn’t get there until we’ll after 1:00. We had to wait a while before we got to see the ship go up but it was worth it. So crazy. We finally saw Frank and Bob again along the ride today. Whew! And we also saw a whole other family of swans. <3
We had beer in Eberswald and it was shaping up to be a beautiful evening. We had to have the bikes back to the ship for 5pm, though, so of course we did. Only a few minutes after we got back the skies opened up and we were treated to a heavy downpour, which we watched from inside the boat’s lounge (having second beer, of course. The bicycle bucket brigade were not quite so fortunate. |

Building in Oderburg
We stopped in Oderburg for coffee and this great building was across the street. I love the hinky bricks and shutters. -
Oderburg Church
The best view of the church seems to be from out the back of the coffee shop. Who would have guessed. -
