Today we took a one hour train to Lubbenau Spreewald to meet up with Joanna and her baby Sienna. Joanna couch-surfed at our place, three different times in her year backpacking around Australia  two years ago. And we became good friends.

She took us on a one and a half hour ride around the backwaters – a famous summer leisure activity. It was a beautiful warm summer afternoon.

Arriving back home in the evening, we had a late dinner at an Italian restaurant on Frankfurter Allee, a block away from our AirBnB on Rigaer Strasse. Asparagus and potatoes at peak season, cooked in butter with a schnitzel. Yum!
