Berdekesa

Although you could do the Otterndorf to Bremerhaven stretch (60 KM @ 8 KM/hr) in a day if you wanted / had to, we have so far broken the trip in Berdekesa, almost exactly half way on each of the four occasions we have done it.
This morning we were 'stuck in the mud' in Otterndorf (the harbour is clearly silting up), so we only left around 10:30. Through the little tunnel in the dike and into the lock and then 32 easy k's to Berdekesa. Suddenly the autumn-like weather of the past few days is over and during the trip we change into shorts and T shirts. Nice!
In Berdekesa we take out the bicycles and ride around the lake and to the eel-smoking place. Eel as a snack with pre-dinner wine is a real treat!
Tomorrow off to Bremerhaven, where we hope to find WiFi so we can upload these posts.
