Warnemunde

After our sad bus tour to Wismar we decided to see the town the ship was docked in. We thought the rain had stopped so we ventured out with the crowds. There were two cruise ships but thankfully most people trained into Berlin because the town could barely hold the people that stayed behind.

We got about half way through town and the rain came back with a vengeance. I was determined to put my feet in the Baltic Sea so unlike everyone else huddled under the few awnings I kept going. Margaret who really wasn’t as interested in the whole sea thing went along probably cursing me the whole way. We finally fought our way out to the water and had the whole beach to ourselves. I loved it and think Margaret did as well but she will never admit it. She would prefer to continue to call me crazy.

We were just walking off the beach when the rained stopped. Margaret spied another tower we could climb and feeling bad for the beach adventure I had to do along. Only 150 short steps took us to the top. I was a little nervous but it was nothing like the church in Copenhagen so I was okay. I only had to make a short circle around the outside.

Soaking wet we continued our tour of the town on one of the less crowded streets. The flowers were beautiful. All the houses had small but well maintained flower gardens. Some of the biggest roses I have ever seen.

Not much for shopping but we did each find something to buy. Who would aim alone mine was a Christmas ornament (a small tree no less).

What got off to a rocky start came together in the end. Tomorrow is a lazy day on board but who knows what trouble we will find.
