Now that we’ve both tested negative we know how the remainder of our trip should go. We are preparing for the Bike and Barge tour - yay! This morning we stopped in at the Covid test kiosk to get the info we needed to get tested appropriately for the tour. Then we went off in search of bicycle helmets. We chose not to bring helmets along because we didn’t want to have to haul them around for the month before the tour. We could buy helmets from the tour company for E40, but for that price we’d rather find and select our own. We headed off to Fahrrad Wollman, the nearest bike shop to us. They had limited selection and quite expensive. One of their helmets looked like a Gilligan hat and if it had fit Brent we certainly would have bought it but alas, it was too big. We decided against getting helmets there and went to Hagebaumarkt - a Hardware store that we had scouted out last time we were in Stralsund. After getting helmets from the hardware store we made our way back to the old town and the Hugendubel store that I’ve been keeping an eye on. It’s a book store that I’ve found to be a good source of cycle tour books and maps in the past. We had decided that, since our days of hauling packs around are now limited, maybe I would buy a few cycle maps there for our tour next year. Sadly they didn’t have what I was looking for - they only had maps for the north of Germany, which I’m not looking for at this time. Oh well. Brent took me for ice cream in the Alte Markt and all is well.
The rains predicted for this afternoon didn’t appear so we sat outside and had a couple of beers. We thought we might walk around a little and see if we could find our boat for tomorrow which was supposed to arrive around 1:30. Well, as we sat there around 1:30, the boat pulled in and parked, literally, right in front of our Airbnb. No walking around required. Ha!
While we were waiting for the bike shop to open we took a walk through the St Jürgen cemetery. We both really enjoyed it. It had a lot of ‘wild’ and we imagined he people buried there as being, now, up in the tops of the trees in the park.
