Biking at the Altes Land

Once the apple trees are in bloom the Parkin family headed once again to the Altes Land to bike around the orchards. Last year we missed the ferry back home and ended up biking for something like 8-12 hours (the girls were in a bike trolley). This year we kept it simple and invited the Peterson's and Trent Kennedy to join us. We took it easy with Aubrie riding the whole time on her bike. It was an hour from our house to the ferry in Blankenese then we pedalled around Cranz and had a pic nic atop a dike encircling an orchard. I still can't get over how wonderful the smells of apple blossom's and lilacs are. Aubrie did fantastic on our 6 hour adventure and the kids were rewarded with icecream at the end. It was a fantastic day!
