Today we docked in Warnemunde, Germany. This is a small town of about 8,000, but it is a resort town so there were a lot of German tourists here. There is a nice beach, but it was way too cold to go into the water (for us). We decided to take the train to Rostock, which dates back to medieval times. We took the train into town, and saw the town square, a couple of medieval churches, and the old city. It was a really beautiful place. We went to the top of one of the tall church spires. I was kind of afraid, but it was really nice to see such a great view of the city.
We had lunch at a nice, out-of-the-way cafe, where nobody spoke English. John decided to be brave and order the daily special, even though we didn't have any idea what it was. It turned out to be some sort of soup with meat, peppers, and other stuff in it. It was very flavorful and good. I ordered something safe (of course) - waffles!
After lunch we walked around the university plaza, which was very lively. It had a nice fountain, and a lot of people were shopping and enjoying the day. I'm glad we made this stop. This is definitely somewhere we would never have known about otherwise!
