Weather
Fresh to stiff breeze from the West, and thus headwind all day. Overcast until late afternoon, when it brightened up. Chilly temperatures, but rising during the day.

Remarks
The stages comprised one ferry crossing across the river Peene's mouth from Peenemuende to Freest.
Travel report
In the morning a ferry took me across the river to the fishing town of Freest. A fresh to stiff breeze blew from the West, so it was a true headwind stage to Stralsund. My lunch box I emptied af Ludwigsburg and then cycled to Greifswald, a lovely old hansa league town on the river Ryck, where I enjoyed a cup of coffee in the sun, served by a likewise lovely young lady. Afterwards all kinds of pleasant and peculiar thoughts about having invited her to my hotel in Stralsund went through my head, when I ventured out on the last 40 km, which turned out a piece of hard work, mostly because of 19 km of cobble stone road on top of the headwind and some climbs. So it was really a pleasure to check into my hotel Hafenblick in the old town and even more pleasant to wander about in the streets and squares of Stralsund. This town is a gemstone and it has retained its athmosphere. At the restaurant Torschliesserhaus (gatecloserhouse), where I tucked away enormous amounts of food and beer, it's just so cosy. I felt really well. I ended the evening at a crammed sports bar with the Champions League semifinal Manchester City vs. Real Madrid
