Bibo ergo sum.
The first 45 minutes sleep last night was good. Unfortunately the next 4 and a half hours were interrupted by rowdy incomers, fireworks, heavy rock band, rowdy home goers, music getting louder and louder, full audience participation and finally the nutter who shook our tents. Suffice to say, we didn't sleep too well. Mind you we had been warned. The washing and toilet facilities left much to be desired and in the morning after they had been used by several hundred rock fans weren't to be desired at all. We left at 7.30.
As soon as we could we abandoned the R1 and picked up the Elbe Radweg which we followed joyfully.
This enabled us to reduce the mileage by such a significant amount that lunch was taken at Lutherstadt Wittenberg after 39 miles. We had planned this to be our overnight stop but could now move northwards towards Berlin to arrive there tomorrow, a day earlier. A further 23 miles saw us arrive in Bad Belzig. As there was no camping anywhere in the vicinity we forced ourselves to find a Pension for the night.
Exhaustion and insanity has set in and our legs are so full of lactic acid that our muscles are ceasing to function. Mind you at least Derek's eye is getting better.
An Italian restaurant humoured us for the early evening and now we intend to sleep for 12 hours.
Distance covered - 63.7 miles
