WAREN to KRABOW AM SEE, GERMANY  8/7 (FRI) 55 K (33 miles) 8:30-5:00

See our friends at bkft-take pictures as we leave. Pass huge camping area-take picture of giant propeller-company makes largest in the world for ships. Take side trip to buffalo reserve-open at 10-feed buffalo at 11. Buffalo can tell time & don’t come in early so we leave. Now in National Forest again on a  very rough & difficult to bike dirt trail for over 3 miles-listen to music but it doesn’t help. Pass a couple pulling kid cart behind them-can’t believe it-there’s a DOG IN THERE! Take picture-can’t imagine taking DOMINIC. Finally get out, stop in little town & eat sandwich. All kinds of trails again-pass lots of fields. Stop at lookout-climb up to top-see lake-famous poet said  view was next to paradise-start to take picture of OR-yells wasps are here! The poet has not been here lately or seen the FJORDS OF NORWAY! Come to a GOLF COURSE & HOTEL BY THE LAKE. I think we have arrived in paradise. How much? 95 EUR for 9 holes, clubs, balls & cart. Just need to get off bike. Our friends bike in-they get to stay here. Course is beautiful-only ones playing. Even have herd of white cows beside lake on one hole. Finish & bike 6 miles to Hotel An der Seepromenade by the lake. No one speaks English-nothing for Armand to eat. Find grocery store-have TRADER JOES fresh salad, potato salad & TJ even makes muffins, nuts & 2 warm cokes. Eat in our hot room-no internet-my least favorite hotel (except the hostel) so far.
