Hi! My name is Mr. Osi­pov and I want to tell you about my sum­mer holi­days, espe­ci­al­ly the time I spent on my bike. 

I was very sad becau­se of the last day at school: I missed the school and my pupils much, but I was also very hap­py to have more free time for dis­co­ve­ring Ger­ma­ny on my bike.  As you know , I love cycling a lot: I ride my bike to work, I take part in cycling tours at the weekends, I even ride my bike at night when I travel. 

This sum­mer I made a 500-km tour from the Bal­tic Sea to the Nor­t­hern Sea. And it was fan­ta­stic! I star­ted my jour­ney in Ros­tock, went to Wis­mar and finis­hed my first day in Lübeck. But I was so exci­ted that I deci­ded not to sleep and con­tin­ued riding. Can you ima­gi­ne riding a bike almost 48 hours? 

Old Elb­bridge in Hamburg

My next stop was a beau­tiful city Ham­burg, which I like a lot. I have seen Ham­burg many times, that’s why I didn’t spend much time the­re. But I made this cool pho­to on one of the bridges the­re. I lik­ed it a lot. 

After Ham­burg I cycled to Cux­ha­ven, which was still quite far away and I was alre­a­dy tired. Did I stop for some rest? What do you think? Of cour­se not. I was so hap­py to see dif­fe­rent towns and vil­la­ges on my way that I wan­ted to see more and didn’t want to sleep at all. I met inte­res­t­ing peo­p­le, saw some fes­ti­vals and cele­bra­ti­ons and that was just awesome! 

I had a lot of bags with me, so it was a bit dif­fi­cult to ride a bike.

I final­ly rea­ched a cam­ping place on a third day of my cycling tour. I was tired and very slee­py. I didn’t take a show­er for more than 70 hours. But what could be worse? The worst thing that could hap­pen (and it did hap­pen) was the fact that I for­got a part of my tent. So I couldn’t set up my tent. One man from the camp saw that I have a pro­blem and hel­ped me. He had 3 tents and offe­red me his tent poles. I always say how hel­pful Ger­man peo­p­le are and this situa­ti­on was  ano­ther pro­of that it is true. I enjoy­ed time in the camp, met many peo­p­le and rode my bike to see the town. The wea­ther in Cux­ha­ven was ama­zing: it was very sun­ny and warm. It was plus 27 degrees, but it was very win­dy on the beach. 

The last days of my jour­ney I spent cycling to Bre­men. I saw a very inte­res­t­ing town Bre­men­ha­ven on my way the­re.  As I came to Bre­men, it was almost dark. So I found a place to sleep and went sight­see­ing the next day. Bre­men is a won­de­rul city, it has a very inte­res­t­ing architech­tu­re and so many cool places to visit. I think I will go the­re one more time. 

My final stop in Bre­men, I finis­hed my 500-km tour there.

Unfort­u­na­te­ly that was the end of my tour, but I hope I will see other Ger­man cities, towns and small vil­la­ges very soon, when the next holi­days come. 

Thank you for your atten­ti­on. If you have any ques­ti­on, I would be hap­py to ans­wer them.
