Back in the Chaingang

..sigh, sigh - and almost, but only almost , finished with my unloved task of unpacking bags. I's fun at the hotel, where you have those "virgin" cabinets where you put your nice clothing, but at home...cramming them into overstuffed (with crummy clothes ) wardrobes , it is a pain in the neck. You agree? And tomorrow my messy garden cries for attendance, so I will have to roll up my sleeves and get going as long as the nice weather lasts. And talking about the weather, again we have been soo lucky, only one day a bit of rain, the rest pure blue sky and most of the time sunshine. So, thanks to all of you ,my anti- rain dancers, you did a good job once again.

Yes, it has been a great vacation, such a nice place and sea and country side and I enjoyed beeing spoiled with good food and wellbeing. We did a lot of sightseeing too along the coast and inland, this former eastern part of the country up to now has been unknown to us and let me tell you, it's lovely. Only thing we regretted is, that we did not take our bikes along as we had in mind first, it would have been worth it. But we rented for one day, so Herr Husband could get around for a bit too, walking is out for him for long distances. The walking had been left for Landfrau and Herr Hund and we enjoyed the lonely beaches, empty of beach people. During high season dogs are only allowed at the dog beaches - a nuisance.

Our first stopover on the way to Warnemünde had been Worpswede, a bit of an dissapointment, our chosen hotel turned out to be rather crummy and the little village had been overcrowded. We had a nice dinner though with my cousin and husband, who live in Bremen and came to see us, for them it only had been an half hour's drive. On our way back we made a stopover at a little country hotel in the middle of nowhere (Dünsen, never heard of before) and it had been a real treat, we slept like on cloud seven.

So now we are back home safe and sound and Herr Hund did not want to get out of the car, he wanted to continue the holiday. So did Landfrau.
