A great start to the day with a whizz along a closed (due to a massive fan park and TV screen for the World Cup at the Brandenburg Gate) Strasse 17 Juni and the Tiergarten before heading off via lots of iconic Berlin sites and out towards Poland. I like Berlin a lot. And it was good to be in a big city after riding through the countryside and smalll towns for so long. Mmm Skyscraper I Love You.
I finished the day at Seelow, just short of the border. A town that post unification pretty much closed down. There are derelict things everywhere. It has the feeling of a set for a cult horror film. I half expect to find a woman's head inside my wardrobe in the hotel. Thankfully all I find is coat hangers and a bit of dust. They must have covered their tracks.
I spent my evening exploring as much as I could. I managed to get into an old abandoned theatre and mooch around. It was rather big and must have had many a ply during the communist era. Now all that the stage holds is broken glass, lights and sound gantries watched by upturned chairs and damp.
