Lübecker Marzipan - and more!

Very convenient bus service from our camping to the city Centre. We went straight to Cafė Niederegger where we had coffee and 'second breakfast'/elevenses. Quite expensive, but hey, what can you expect from Niederegger?

The rest of the day we more or less followed the suggested route on our tourist map. We would have loved to visit the Hanseatic Museum, but Ivan wasn't allowed in. Too bad. Another place we have to see again - without a dog.

In the afternoon we went on a boat tour around the Historic Lübeck. Took an hour and was well worth the time and money. Plus I could rest my feet for a while!

J had looked up a good wine store on the Internet so off we went. We left him with some interesting bottles in our bags. There's always room for more wine!

We wanted to have dinner in Lübeck, but it was still a bit early, so we tried to find a bar we'd seen from the boat. It was just too darn hot though, so we simply plopped down at basically the first place we found.

We had an early dinner at a cosy 'Lady and the Tramp' style restaurant but I was so tired that I forgot taking a photo. My food was excellent, the J's vegerarian alternative was ok.

We had a bit of time before the bus left, so I bought a few things at Niederegger. And now we're back 'home', relaxing outside our van.

Tomorrow we plan a visit at the local Fritz Berger camping store before heading to Denmark and then on to Sweden.

Couldn't finish this post yesterday since the wifi at the camping was so slow. We are now in Denmark, in the town of Middelfart. I'm serious, that really is the name. Funny name, another nice little town. The trip here took forever - bumper to bumper, as usual in Germany it seems.

It's still crazy hot in northern Europe. Temperatures above 30 C for months now. In Sweden forest fires have been raging for the past month. Firefighters from all over the EU are helping out. We have never seen anything like it.
