Spreewald and Potsdam

Last weekend was a long weekend, so we headed south to Potsdam and Spreewald.

We will go back to Potsdam for more exploring, but we enjoyed pancakes in the Dutch quarter.










In Spreewald, we rented bikes with baby seats and we rode about 20 miles in the UNESCO Biosphere reserve.  It is such a cool area.  You can rent canoes or kayaks and travel by boat to guesthouses and pubs along the rivers.  There are also tons of bike trails.  We road from one small town to another, stopping at two brewery/restaurants along the way.  They both had huge sandpits where the girls played happily for over an hour while Mommy and Daddy had beer and food in the sun.  Happy days.
