From west to east. Today I crossed the old West/East german border at Eckertal. Now marked with a sign and statue of two pwople shaking hands through a gap in a wall. I noticed a bit of a change as I continued east. The twee medieval towns stopped, to be replaced by the austere lines of communist era apartment blocks. Perversly these made a refreshing change, as it was something new to look at and cycle through. The towns are getting smaller too. Gasterslaben was my finishing point today. Another very quiet town. Quiet is good however, as it leves roads free from heavy traffic. Anyway, it has been two weeks and I am still to make Berlin. I feel I have underestimated the size of Europe.
