Monday morning I set off into Berlin HBH by one of the frequent, fast , clean , cheap trains ( don't get me started) to meet up with Claire and bring her back to Linquenda. How wonderful to have Claire with us for the next week.
Planning on exploring yet another arm of the lake system south of Berlin. The lakes around Berlin are extensive, should not have been a surprise because everyone we have spoken to who has been over here has told us so but to actually be here cruising about this beautiful and huge system is amazing. Nothing like anything we have done in France, here it can be days between stepping on land, needless to say the poor old bikes are not getting much of a work out ,cobwebs even on a couple of them.!
My big problem is getting enough books to read , I know I should have a Kindle but do like the touch of paper.
Our anchoring skills are improving, the biggest challenge Knud faces is trying to instruct me on how to manoeuvre the boat while he is wrestling with the anchor. So far so good , we still remain a happy family.

While the touch of paper maybe reassuring, the weight of a thousand books on a kindle is considerably less than the weight of 1000 books in a suit case! - keep up the postings!
