Warnemünde and Rostock Germany



Warnemünde, Germany

The first port on the cruise. We rode the train into the small city of Rostock. Going to Berlin was a possibility but it required a 2:30 ride on the train and bus each direction. We spent the day enjoying the sites and looking in the shops and farmer's market. I was able to find a pet for a co-worker of Alexandra's who will be moving to New Zealand for 2 years work. Germany was a good time and set the tone for our cruise.




Kröpeliner Tower


























The fountain in front of Rostock University. There were numerous kids running around in the fountain enjoying the water on a warm day.












The Main Hall of Rostock University.















Great German beer and pizza in one of the caffes on Kröpeliner Strasse across from the fountain. Rostocker Pilsener.











The view from the tower of St Mary's Church, looking west over the city.


















Back in Warnemünde for the afternoon. We had the most time to spend in this port since many of the passengers took a tour into Berlin. I had time to find a barber shop and get a hair cut. We enjoyed the beach and had a beer in one of the cafes before returning to the ship.
