Day 1, and off to Insel Rügen.


An early 7am start in Timmerlah on Thursday 30th June.
 
I had a wonderful, action packed holiday up on the Baltic coast, and I´m terrible behind with all the news, so I will post photos with captions, and then add more info later.  Bear with me, as I need a holiday to get over the holiday.  We had only one bad day of rain, which unfortunately coincided with a boat trip along the Chalk coastline.  It was not too bad, and there was certainly a bracing wind blowing up on the top deck.

Details of the monument can be found on the internet under, Sights to see in Güstrow.
