sew much to say
yup, its bin a right whirl (wheel?) wind since my last post and I definately can't give the last month or so the justice it deserves right here. We cycled with the caravaan through Holland and into Germany, staying at a varied mixture of places, doing some amazing actions and meeting wicked folks on the way. Tis an experience I won't forget.
Then we made it all the way to the G8 for a week of mischief and mayhem.. all in all a positive experience and we managed to be rather effective on our bikes slowing down traffic near blockades and zooming round the actions. Niether of us got caught too which was nice as those that did have a tough time (unsurprisingly).
After a wind down on the Baltic coast for a few days 5 of us cycled down to Berlin. Four day ride in very hot sun and accompanied by zillions of mosquitos.. ahhhhhhh the pain!
Great to be here and staying in a nice place ex-squat housing co-op thing. On saturday we took part in a demo to stop the eviction of a famous long standing squat called the Kopi, followed by a great party (they know how to put on a gig over here!). Berlin is one heck of a city, heaps going on, loving it!
Plan to stay 5 or so more days then head off again to Czech..
