Emma's Bike Tour

You would think that a simple bike tour would be all easy right? Wrong. Even a bike tour can go wrong in many ways. You have everyone having to go to the bathroom at different times at every stop along the tour. There was a bike that mysteriously deflated its own tire on our first stop at the house President Truman stayed in during the Potsdam Conference. In fact, how that tire deflated is still a mystery. And then you have the crashes and almost crashes which all lead to a delay of at least 20 minutes behind the second group which originally had started a good 15-20 minutes after we did. But let's focus on the good part. Castles. Boy do I love castles. 

Sanssouci, a castle for Prussian King Frederick the Great

I forget how many castles we saw, but we saw a lot. Too many for me to actually count I think. They were all beautiful too, very majestic each in their own way. Each had some story about it, but I don't remember all of what our tour guide said about each person and the history behind each castle. However, that's what we have tour guides for right? If you're curious then go to Germany and go on the bike tour we did in Potsdam and you'll probably find out about the castles like we did. But really, I love castles, I really do. So all in all the bike trip was pretty good, but only because of the castles.
