Although my wonderful dogwalker is on holiday this week, my equally wonderful cleaning help – the only other person whom I trust to be able to handle Max in the “worst-case-scenario” (which fortunately becomes less and less frequent) agreed to put in an extra hour and take Max for a couple of “toilet rounds”, so that I was able to spend most of the day out with Mr Canon, this time walking along the southern shore of Müggelsee.

My route on Mapmywalk here.

Not really a long walk at all, and – worse – far from enough exercise for Max today, but weather permitting, we will make up for that at Bieselheide tomorrow.

Note to self: Next time, take bus 169 to the end stop (from either S Bhf Köpenick or bus 165 stop Krankenhaus Besuchereingang and check out the forest around there, the sanddune, and not least the waterfront restaurants.

A lot of nature left to its own devices, birdlife, and one mountainbiker whom I did not hear coming so he ended up in my ICM photo of some trees :-).
