Eutin to Preetz – 31km
25C
Terrain: cycle paths and quiet roads

Legs could really feel it today right from the get go and especially on those hills. If only I could transport Barbara Brunner over from @energylabb for a proper sports massage, I would!

Wednesday is market day so started the day with the early morning market goers. Love the market culture in Europe, the everyday shop with beautiful fresh produce, clothes, flowers etc. No internet shopping, instead, lots of chat and advice, perfect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Following the market, I seem to have landed in horse country, lots around and then the obvious tell-tale signs on all of the cycle paths, nice. Bob had to do a lot of dodging!

Kind of fell for this little chap

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then hundreds of birds all at once

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also came across this house, on a normal residential street, how cool is the roof! Properly alive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My legs were definitely happy to arrive in Preetz, a lovely little place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I seem to be remarkably lucky with the places I’m ending up at the moment, no doubt things will change when I get away from coast and there are more small villages but definitely making the most of it for now.

To get an idea (bunting and all)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also very happy to get back to my ice creams, even found my favourite mint today, yay!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More beautiful lakes along the way and Preetz has a lovely one of its own. Whiled the time away just watching and taking pics, so relaxing.

One of the things I love at the moment is the uninterrupted view of everything. No tall buildings, window panes or even cars most of the time. It’s like life in panorama permanently with beautiful pure colours.

On my way to Kiel tomorrow, a much shorter day, my legs will be grateful as will Bob.

Finally, this made me smile.
