I made it through Germany! 801 kms from the Thuringian Forest to the Baltic Sea and further on to the ferry that will bring me north. My first destination was the island of Usedom, which is a popular Baltic Sea destination for many Germans. There I met up with a very good friend and spent a couple of days relaxing and enjoying wine, fish rolls and good conversation. It was a very welcoming treat after having cycled through empty and silent lands in northern Germany.
