Waren, Lake Muritz

We drove down from the island of Rugen to Waren, which is a resort town on the edge of Lake Muritz. We are only about 40 kms west from Neubrandenburg. We stayed off the motorway, not that there was one handy, and kept to minor roads. So we travelled through lots of small villages and towns, which were interesting, with many pre WW2 houses in ruins and many blocks of featureless flats.

A number of roads were lined with trees, very picturesque except if you run off the road into a tree. A fair proportion of the roads we travelled on were well patched, done with the usual Germany efficiency. The patched roads were very smooth, with no bumps or ridges. Not like the patched roads in the UK!

We are staying in the stellplatz which is outside a camping ground. Of course it is cheaper than being in the camping ground, but then the spaces are not as spacious. One has to compromise! Still over 3 nights we will save €24 which is more than enough for lunch out for the two of us. Included in our €12 per night is water, electricity, internet and the use of the showers and toilets. This is about the best stellplatz so far. Of course we went for our usual bike ride, through the forest this time. We could not stop too often due to the high number of mosquitos which zoomed in on us. We had an ice cream to celebrate the end of an hours ride.

Dinner was white asparagus with fried ham and eggs and left over spagetti which had pesto sauce in it. Pesto goes very well with asparagus. I changed my drink to wine for the occasion.
Then it rained - Walter sheltering from the rain, yet again!

So tomorrow it is off into town to explore what is to offer.
