One of life’s unsung pleasures: packing up a dry tent. Unless something changes again, today will be our last morning packing up our tent on this trip. We are grateful for (1) no rain and (2) no dew.
Our original plan had us going straight north to the coast (through Hamburg) then east to Stralsund, but Covid changed that. When we found out we had the virus we headed straight to the Stralsund area in case we were sick right up until the time of our Bike and Barge trip. Now that we’re able to travel again, and we have a few days to do so, we’re backtracking a bit. We’re heading to Hamburg today and then Wismar tomorrow. We might squeeze in a day trip to Rostock since we’ll be in Wismar for three nights. having the E9 ticket in August was nice, but it also meant the trains were REALLY full. Today is our first time traveling at full price and it’s kind of nice to be in a train that’s more than half empty. I’ve been kind of considering booking us into the first class compartment if the trains continue to be cattle cars. On the trip from Altefähr to Rostock (where we transfer to Hamburg) we had to produce our tickets. It was our first time using an electronic ticket purchase through OMIO. The lady scanned our QR code, and gave us an approving nod. Easy peasy. |

When I looked on Airbnb to find us a place in Hamburg, a listing came up for a Hippie Camper with a pic of the cutest little trailer. I had to stay there. Brent agreed to it, because that’s what Brent does. <3
When we got to the PierDrei hotel they let us check in right away. It’s a really unique and fun place with regular hotel rooms, plus three little trailers in their ‘Camper City’ up one floor from main, on the roof. PierDrei also has a really great restaurant and bar, plus a rooftop garden. Highly recommend!! |
