Following my nose – looking for unicycling spots – I finally came to the habour of Oakland. Everything was rather bussy there, rudders were carried to t he footbridge and boats were launched. People were warming up and mounting the engine before they then started ‚rowing’.
I originally thought that thes motorised rowing-boats were some special offer to tourists, but i realised that i was wrong here. Motorised rowing-boats seem to be state of the art here.
My nose then guided me to the, where I saw a boat from the coastguard landing. Once again, i could see, how everything is prepared to fight terrorism here. I think the coastguard boat could easily make the whole Austrian fleet sink.



For dinner i had my first Burger, however i got to realise the edges of my Englishskills when ordering, as ‘Burger’ simply was not exact enough. Wa also had beer, of which the pub we went to had a wide range to choose from. And before ordering your beer, you can have a draft to test, which is definitly usefull.
Although the German ‘Reinheitsgebot’ is not in force here and sugar appears to be one of the main incrediants of some sorts, concering beer Americans do know what is good. Prost!

While i was on tour with my unicycle on the Campus of the Berkley university, something astonishing happened in the universities museum, which i only realised when i was reading the newspapers. The Nobelprice made of 23 carat gold, on display in the museum, that had been awarded in 1939 for the invention of the cyclotron, was stolen!

Next day, Toms girlfriend Nancy told me, that one of her students, who was about to finish his studies had stolen it ‚for fun’. He had shown the price to his friends and later on was detained. The nobelprice now is back on its place in the museum.
