Left Berlin on Friday on bike paths all the way out of the city and most of the way to Lutherstadt Wittenburg - beautiful forests, forgiving drivers (cyclists really are a way of life here and they are in the psyche of all citizens). Very hot riding - over 30 degrees but excellent conditions. Stayed at the Youth Hostel in the Wittenburg castle - neat rooms and very helpful English-speaking staff. 108km today and going fine on the B2.
Saturday had the morning in Wittenburg - Tarn bought scarf and bandanna and saw two weddings. Left for Leipzig about 1:30pm for late lunch in Bad Dubens which had a good old-fashioned market fiesta going with ferris wheel etc. Hot and at times stormy ride for the last 38km to Leipzig to the Youth Hostel at Schoneberg Ost. 68km today and Pat´s bike is making a few noises around the chain that weren't there before - tomorrow will tell if its anything major.
