kb_de14_04606 Day route: Marielyst – Marrebaek – Skelby – Gedser – Rostock – Groß Stove – Schwaan – Rukieten – Mistorf – Goldewin – Lüssow – Güstrow

I left Marielyst early because I had no idea how long I could take to the to the ferry in Gedser in case there was strong wind. I cycled so fast that I ended up geting there too early for the 11am ferry. I had to wait for more than an hour.
The ferry takes approximately 2 hours to do the 50km from Gedser to Rostock. There was not many cyclists, the majority does the opposite direction (from Berlin to Copenhagen). I just met a French speaking family, a couple and two children cycling towards the beaches in Rostock.
The way out of the ferry to the cycling lane to the city was a bit confusing. There was so many trucks and motorcycles getting out that I got a little lost among them.
The meeting with Katharina near the train station was easy. From there on it was great, a had a friend traveling with me and there was no more head wind.

Day total: 124...

DCIM101GOPRO Day 3 route: Tastrup – Bissinge – Hjelm – Skovsøen – Grønsundvej – Stubbekøbin – Grønsund – Hesnaes – Ulslve – Elkenøre Strand – Marielyst

This was the most beautiful day of the cycling in Denmark, first I cycled around Møn island, then I went through a dense forest at Falster forest.
It was very windy in Møn and I got rain on the road. I decided to stopped on the only tree on the way. Getting there I realize there was other two German cyclist waiting for the rain under the tree. About 20 minutes later the rain was gone and the sun was shining.
The bridge between Møn and Bogø was large, about 1 km long. But this time it was easy, I was not afraid to cross it.
A highlight of the day was the cycling on the forest. No cars, no people… and boarding the Baltic sea.
It is worth a quick stop at Hesnæs port to see the fishing boats and enjoy the landscape
I got to Marielyst almost 5pm without having any stop for food or rest, no even a pause for toilet...

15301627680_0f9e2f3373_b Day 2 route: Rødvig – Lund – Lille Torøje – Strandskov – Fakse Ladeplads – Delhoved – Srandhuse – Praestø – Skibinge – Rekkende – Kragevig – Sandvig – Kalvehave – Koster – Stege – Keldby – Elmelunde/Møn

Before departing Rødvig I cycled in the port. I love ports, boasts, fishing nets…
Again, I got head wind the whole journey. Even when going down small hills I had to cycle.
There was so many apple trees on the way that I had to grab one. I decided to eat when I arrived at the hotel, as a precaution in case this wild apple would give me some stomachache.
My lunch stop was at Praestø port. It was great to be on a warm place to recharge the energies and continue cycling.
The Queen Alexandrine Bridge to Møn was huge and the wind very strong. I got afraid of the wind blowing me towards the cars and trucks, so I got out of the bicycle and carried it walking on the bridge.
At my arrival in Stege I stopped in the supermarket to buy my dinner since there was no supermarket or restaurant...
