27th-31st - Laupheim, Germany

A short summary of the days in Laupheim and on route to there - almost no cycling was done during this period.

27th was moving day, day started bit unluckily by losing a baby cat somewhere outside, well its cat and its summer guess it'll survive. Thanks to my friend got to drive the first patch to near Munchen and beat my car driving speed record on autobahn - it's now over 180 km/h, that was max of the car's speedometer. Quite interesting experience, kinda different game than normal driving on road where trucks go their 80 km/h or so and some cars near 300 km/h. Visited one of friend's friend, who would join us later on festival.

Arrived to Laupheim in the evening and basically ate bit on local kebab place, took swim in the pool and went sleep.

28th was pretty chill day with just visit to bike shop and couple visits to nearby Ulm, to take care of some business. Also some good food was consumed at place of the friend's family where we stayed the days in Laupheim.

29th was the first festival day, where we went way before the official start at 18.00 to meet some of the organizers. And actually went back to Ulm again for city tour and pick the lady from the train station. On the way back to festival we hitted the police checkpoint established outside festival area and got full body search and car search done on us. Night was crazy partying in drum based and dupstep based electronic music and headed back towards Laupheim at 04.00, when dawn was starting.

30th slept long, think 11.30 or so. As the second day of the festival started late in the evening, we had time to check out nearby amusement park and get our stomachs more or less shaken up. After sweaty amusement park visit it was time for a small swim. Weather was very similar during whole stay in Laupheim with days reaching almost +30°C and nights being around +10°C, which was unusually low for night in summer I was told. Night went pretty similarly, including another police check. Music was minimal electronic music, and people was slightly younger and definitely more high.

31st slept till 14.00 - can't remember sleeping this long for ages. Day was surprisingly short, thanks to late waking up. Main points were barbeque and movie, just chilling and prepping for getting back to cycling.
