The rope ferry Tussy II travels between Caputh and Geltow and crosses the Havel. The beetles were introduced to the rope ferry. Up to ten beetles fitted on the cable ferry! The journey took hardly more than a minute!
When they reached Lehnin Monastery, the beetles entered the inner courtyard and had permission to park there during their stay. Afterwards the convoy took course to the island town Werder. Over the narrow-paved bridge, the beetles drove straight at walking speed to the market place, a special permit for parking had been given to the K-UE-Club. Many visitors had come to admire the crawling animals. A wonderful scenery on this marketplace with the big tree and the fountain.
The following day, the convoy of beetles set off on their journey from the hotel to Berlin to the "Straße des 17. Juni". With the Brandenburg Gate in the background, each participant was "captured" with his beetle in the picture.
The chartered steamer "MS PEGASUS" took us for one hour on the Spree through the city of Berlin and passed the well-known government buildings.
In the unique restaurant "Ständige Vertretung" (an insider restaurant) the old chancellor filet was served. Only because the owner is an Oldtimers and beetle fan, a booking was made!
In the afternoon at Gut Schloss Golm (insider tip) in Potsdam-Golm, coffee was served directly at Lake Zernsee. We were served coffee and tea with homemade cakes in an idyllic location directly on the lake. The beetles parked on the beautiful meadow directly at the lake!
"Enchanting romance directly on the shore of the Großer Zernsees" if you can’t get carried away... A successful afternoon with great weather; what more could you ask for!
In the evening the "MS-Potsdam" waited at the jetty of the Hotel Seminaris, it cruised for two hours on the Templiner lake and surroundings. The captain explained the area and the sights; a wonderful day full of experiences ended with a great sunset.
The following day the beetles stayed in the hotel garage. From the hotel, they took historic buses for a 2.5-hour tour of Potsdam with photo stops: Sanssouci Palace, Cecilienhof Palace, Neues Palais and the Dutch Quarter.
