HSW - another day with company

I slept in until 8 am and stretched myself before packing my stuff and preparing to leave. The next town close by I bought too much food for the whole day. I tried to find a breakfast spot with a charging option and continued until I found one at a fitness center. I charged my phone inside but went outside with my yogurt, banana and cashews to avoid confused eyes.
The trail crossing the highway A7 for the third and last time before Hamburg I got into the next village. Asking for the bathroom in the next hotel but no luck with power outlets. I left soon after and ran into two other hikers which I passed earlier but didn't know they were walking the same direction. They were walking the HSW and it was their first time on a trail. We continued talking about hiking and food while the landscape turned into beautiful rolling hills covered in heather with trees here and there. The path itself was sandy or short grass and it reminded me of the dunes at the north sea.
We stopped for a snack break at a bee museum, where we watched short movies about the honey production and bee hives. We stayed there for quite a while, also because of me charging my power bank again and eating a lot of my stuff.
The beautiful landscape continued and we got to a viewing point overlooking the hills around it. I didn't take many pictures that day even though it looked fantastic.
Another small village where we refilled our bottles we saw a police officer on horse, which looked funny. For a few houses it was a busy place with many tourists and cyclists. Two of them greeted me like they knew me but I had no idea.
Following the heather fields we reached their minimum goal for the day. We kept walking with no suitable camping spot until we entered another village. There we found a snack automat from a farm saying there should be sausages and cheese in there but the cheese was missing even though there was no empty spot.
They called it a day but for me the day just started. Nah, I'm kidding. I continued until I found a bench for dinner and afterwards I used the last sun light to find my way to a sheltered spot in the heather fields.Okumaya devam et
