Peenemuende

PeenemundeFirstly I must be honest and say that we really only intended to visit Peenemunde because of the submarine and thus we didn39t really spend much time looking anywhere else... but there wasn39t really that much else to see either If you like military stuff then you should visit and read on. If you don39t then I don39t see any attractions for you and I would recommend skippi

Australia day in Rostock.

Visits to Traben Trabach and Trier

We started of with rain but it turned out a beautiful sunny day. Through this we had the wrong clothes on and it became very hot later in the day. Going direction Koblenz we saw a lock in the river that invited us to have a closer look. There were a few ships that had to go through. You need to be a very good skipper the be able to steer those ships through these narrow openings. Continuing our t

Germany

As we arrived in our destination Rostock the largest city in Northern Germany late in the evening we headed straight round to our hotel. It was a bit of a shame that having made it this far around the world without staying in any major chain of hotels we checked into the Hotel Irbis. Alas there was not much that we could do about this as Rostock seems to have a dirth of hostels.We got up ear

The resort of Warnemunde Germany

When we returned to Pier 7 from Rostock we saw that a Tall Ship was being maneuvered in to the dock right in front of the Prinsendam.

There is to be a Tall Ship Festival in the near future here in Warnemunde and this Russian Tall Ship is he

Bevor euch langweilig wird hier gleich der nchste MiniTR mit einem Abstecher in das herbstliche MeckPomm.Etwas sorgen bereitete uns die Anzeige des Mnchner Flughafens am Vorabend denn neben einem Typenchange auf CR7 war auch bereits ein Delay von 45 Minuten angezeigt und das mehr als 12h vor Abflug.

Strength Through Joy

It sounds like a Golds Gym slogan but I think Hitler had something a little different in mind. He dreamed of a holiday camp on a beautiful island in the Baltic Sea where 20000 people at a time could come to relax and gear up for the inevitable rigors of world domination. He would call it Colossus and it would be the cornerstone of the Kraft Durch Freude movement a string of sixstory bui
