While having breakfast at "Radlerpension" in Dömitz we had a little talk with our host who, for some reason spoke Hungarian. Our conversation focused pretty much on comparing Finnish and Hungarian language. We discovered that besides being rooted in the same language family the two languages have rather little similarities.
We left Dömitz at around ten in the morning. The weather conditions had been excellent. We had strong back wind today, so we could increase our average speed. Our today's trip took us first to Gorleben. It is a small village, which at least many Germans know. Gorleben had been in the news many times, because a storage centre for nuclear waste is located in this village.
Shortly after Gorleben it started to rain heavily and we had to seek shelter. A cafeteria nearby protected us from rain. We continued our trip after a little while. The road conditions had been really perfect. We biked most of the time on the dyke, with nice views to the left and right. The landscape is getting broader. We see more and more meadows and every now and then some storks.
We took a break in Schnackenburg. Mette and I had been waiting for this visit to Lower-Saxony's smallest town. When planning this bike trip we came across this town. We thought that the name "Schnackenburg" is funny and we have been talking about this town many times.
After Schnackenburg we passed the river by ferry and continued the trip on the other side. Cumlosen, our today's destination, was just a couple of kilometres away. Once we arrived our host had been welcoming us at "Landgasthof Schmidt". We went to our room, left our bags and took our bikes for an afternoon ride to Wittenberge. We went to eat to a Chinese restaurant.
Now we are in our hotel and watch TV. The weather forecast promised more sunshine during the weekend...
