sunday, 27th of july - 81 km

though i haven't read '50 shades of grey', this must be the absolute opposite, not one shade, only black or white. 

one would think : pay full price - get full service. not at the place where i had rented a room last night...people were unfriendly, threw a teabag on the table suggesting 'you can brew your tea yourself, can't you?'  at least it was green tea!

i am in a dark black mood! no breakfast!  and the tea wasn't the best, i didn't have a pot for brewing. i really just wanted to get out of there, out of this town - but was too weak too soon. i had to get something to eat, i checked every restaurant (since it was sunday, shops were closed) - but nothing. the good thing was that the new sat nav took me 15 km until ... 

flashing white!

a very nice lady at a very nice hotel let me take whatever i liked from the breakfast buffet, a very kind older waitress smiled at me. 

that's how it goes, black and white! 

and this day had more of black and white situations. i met a nice guy riding my way - always nice/white to have interesting people to talk while riding. but we split up again - black. it turned more and more black as i grew hungry again and no way of getting anything to eat. i even decided to hate mecklenburg-vorpommern despite the fantastic name.

i started to ask people in their gardens - flashing white! the first donation were some yoghurts - absolute pleasure - i have not had any since i left vienna. 

and - the best thing of the day - a couple at the other side of the road had heard me asking and invited me in! i got plenty to eat and take away, and we had a very enjoyable conversation about the project and other topics.

and that was the end of  black for the day. the sky tried to get me, but failed. as it grew darker, the first family i asked, at the parish of lüssow, gave me a place to stay and i even got to shower.  white!

early to bed now. that's white too!
