[Yes all right, yeh, yeh! I have noticed that I got my days and dates muddled up in the previous blog post and have put it right - THURSDAY was the 14th of course - being on holiday sends you barmy!!). Changing currency daily and moving the clocks back and forth is bad enough, so no wonder I don't know what day of the week it is !!!]
WARNEMUNDE is in northern Germany and is a pretty seaside town; a fishing port with a lovely long golden beach.
Although it was raining (only drizzling) when we got up, today we went ashore and the rain soon stopped. We had a wander round Warnemunde with its old lovely buildings, including the Lutheran Church which has many beautiful items in it donated by the fishing community.
The gift shops and cafes were very enjoyable and we got some things for home to remind us of our outing, including many postcards - so we can show everyone the whole place i.e. including the parts we did not see of course.
This wander around the local part of Germany was instead of our original planned official trip to Berlin. After we had booked it (at home) we discovered that it was a very very very long day indeed, leaving the ship at 6.45 a.m. and a 3 hour bus journey there and also back again. Plus lots of sight seeing and altogether rather tiring.
So, today we had our very happy outing and back on board for lunch; and one day we think we will fly to Berlin and stay a few days and see it at our leisure instead.
This afternoon we are just lazing about (again!!) blogging and emailing ! and reading - and this evening there is a Bar-b-que as we sail away towards Denmark (our last port of call before returning to the UK).
We will probably need the two days betwee now and disembarking in Newcastle on the 18th to find out how to get all our bits and pieces, gifts and memorabilia, into the suitcases !!!!!!
Off for a lie down !!!
