We woke up this morning in Peenemünde with a Russian submarine right outside our boat. How interesting! I had never heard of Peenemünde before and had no idea that it was where rocket technology originated. Brent knew, though, and had always sort of wanted to go there, and here we are! We spent three hours at the Peenemünde museum before we started our ride for the day. We could have easily spent five hours, or even a full day there to absorb everything. But, as we started pushing 1pm I got antsy and rushed us through the last parts. Maybe we’ll have to go back someday and see the rest of it.
Riding on Insel Usedom was interesting. It was a relatively short ride today, and largely rural again. We really enjoyed the small harbour across from Karlshagen. Our ride ended today at Wolgast, which is a very pretty little place. Brent and I went for a walk around, and it seemed like everywhere I looked was a photo opp. Our fellow ship passengers are getting used to us and talking to us a bit more. We frequently pass by each other on the daily rides. At dinner time, a lady named Irmgard came over and introduced herself and we had a small conversation. Hopefully we will have more conversations with her, and the other passengers! |
