All this clichés about the bad cuisine in the UK are all wrong.
We had a very nice stay in an apartment in Leipzig last night. For dinner we had some roasted potatoes, Thüringer Bratwurst and Phil had some really nice salad with vegetarian stuff... It looked really nice and tasty AND THEN THEY PUT MAYONNAISE OVER ALL OF THIS GOOD STUFF. IT WAS SWIMMING... I'm still shocked, as I said, the clichés are not true, they are worse...
But to calm down, let's talk about over trip. Again we planned plenty of time to reach the train, which means we were there again 4 minutes before it departed. The ticket inspector was kind of "complicated", asking Phil for his ID (fun fact: British citizens don't have one) and generous accepted his driver licence as a proof, that he exists.
Starting then in the Luther city Wittenberg, Phil had his best coffee of the whole trip from a traveling coffee seller directly at the train station, hands down.
But now we could start, warm weather (no jumper needed), fully motivated and ready.
First few kilometres were very "rural", no tar, not really build paths, very narrow and in the forest.
The forest was also a good chance for some of us "to take a break behind some bushes" without being hit and fined by some bobbies.
Anyways, after a while the streets were back to normal and then...nothing...literaly nothing happened for the next 30 kilometres. We were cycling ether at the mddle of the street or on some bike trails and only one car was passing us. We traversed empty villages without any human being and then...
... still nothing...
but then after over 2h suddenly two bikers were cycling along. Very surprised we asked ourselves if they are something like Schrödingers cyclist. If we don't touch them, it's a 50:50 chance if they exists or not...so we decided to let them in the limbo and make a short refilling break at a nice spot with a house for picnic.
While drinking and chatting away two other cyclings were passing us which we then caught a few kilometres later again. So our biggest challenge was an elderly woman with her scooter, because we had to stop and replug the mobile phone, running out of energy.
The only change was the smell...it was horrible, you could nearly taste it. Beside that there was a village with approximately 20 houses all build at this moment. So if you're looking for a quite and lonely place and don't mind the smell, that's the perfect area.
Eventually, we reached Jüterbog, our destination and had to stop for a long walk, because there was no street anymore, just construction workers and a lot of sandy nothing.
The last metres were than as usual very steep and we reached the hotel with a restaurant without anything vegetarian on the menu. So we had some pizza in the city, fixing Joomla issues, had a meeting and then looked onto some scripts. Late in the night, we called a delivery service, but the mayonnaise on the steak nearly didn't bother me, because culinary wise I was, after yesterday's dinner, I was already a broken man anyway.
Tomorrow we'll have the last trip to Berlin and some nice sightseeing.
