Stinging rain

July 28, 2012

It's scooter time. John and I head north out of Berlin and into the forest. We get a sense of how different the German countryside is and what a bastion of international hipsters Berlin really is compared to the population of the neighboring townships. We stop in Zerpenschleuse which John decided needs to be pronounced "Slurpen juice".

Heavy rains dampen the ride but not our spirits. It's good to get out of the city and explore.

Because of the rain we only get one scooter. John offers to ride his bike wherever we go. I have a new appreciation for his biking prowess. He beat us to the movie theater 7 miles away. (Batman - good times...)

With our new wheels we ventured even further afield. Savignyplatz. In the west side.  Beginning to really appreciate the differences between our area and this more established, traditional area. We decided to keep the scooter for a few weeks rather than just the weekend as we planned. Expensive, but it will be nice to expand our range of exploration. Everyday adventuring has a price.
