Glienick - Hertsberg, 55 miles



It pretty much rained all day on us.  I guess all in all we haven't had much rain so i think maybe we have a debt to pay.  We were sustained by delicious apples midway through the day.  I behaved like a brat, picking up apples, taking a single bite and deciding they weren't good enough for me.  So i would toss them away in a most wasteful manner (keep in mind there were hundreds of apples on the ground, so i wasn't REALLY wasting anything).  In the morning we stopped at a bakery to pee, couldn't speak german to the owner but described our journey to him through pictures.  He gave us two donuts.  we gave the donuts to a stranger further down the road.  everyone wins (except the original owners of the animal ingredients, i.e. the animals themselves). 
We biked into the night and set our tent up under a tree, in a most uncomfortable position on the roots.  We did this for two reasons.  1. it was dark and we couldn't see what we were doing and 2. it was raining and we wanted to be under the tree!
