Lübeck; Sunday, 15 April, 2012

After breakfast I headed into town to “do” Lübeck and started by visiting the museum in the Holstentor before walking around the edge of the old town following the line of the canal down to the Cathedral.

Having looked round the cathedral I went for a long walk around the old town before finally ending up outside the Marienkirche just in time for the end of a service and it reopening to tourists.

From the Marienkirche I had a long wander round the rest of the centre of the old town before realising I’d pretty much exhausted Lübeck, so I head over to the station and caught the train back out Travemünde to take in the seaside in the sunlight.

I had a long wander around the town, this time in the dry, before taking the ferry across to the very pleasant beach on the opposite side of the Trave River in Priwall. After wandering around there for a while I came back into Travemünde and took the bus and train further up the coast to the town of Neustadt, in time to watch a stunning sunset on the Baltic.

By the time I got back into Lübeck it was dark and time to head back to the hotel for a bite to eat and then bed.
