Rostock around

September 5 Rostock around

I wake up befor 8 and step down to breakfast, no English breakfast but still OK. Then I pack my backpack and jump on to an empty bicycle,
my first pedal strokes are jerky as I am used to a much heavier bike, no luggage.

Cycle down towards the harbour and stop for a bit. Then I follow it and turn up towards the centre and the main square.

A lot of people have already gathered and the whole promenade is full of tourists. I just stroll around, quickly look into a few shops and am fascinated by two acrobats, a girl and a guy who do fantastic acrobatic movements on a table.

I´ve been i Rostock before, 2008 on my holiday cycle journey to Paris, lot is the same since the last time I was here

Medieval Building styles is quite common in this part of Germany

The sun is shining and it is warm outside, a normal Swedish summer day.I book myself at an outdoor table and order a beer. Enjoy it while I check out all the tourists with and without dogs who pass by. A few minutes, all of us who were sitting outside had to hurry into the bar because a heavy rain shower was pouring down. Then the sun shine again

Around 3 pm I cycle back to my hotel, B&B Rostock for a shower , my bicycle also got a shower. Then some small purchases in the shopping centre right by the hotel.

Even a bicycle needs to take a shower sometimes

Later in the evening I to a walk down to the harbor for a dinner. At the third restaurant I got a place. I ordered a slightly spicy sausage dish with fried sliced ​​potatoes and chickpeas, also a beer. 16,50 € I had to pay.

Then with small steps back up to my hotel for “on made” coffee. Prepered next days cycling, checked Google Maps and Maps Me how to navigate out Rostock, Krakow am See was next days destination.

Fell a sleep around midnight, quite satisfied with this day.

See Yeah Later
