before heading off towards Kiel. The whole bay was filling up with historical boats in preparation for the world famous "Kieler Woche" regatta. So there was plenty to see on the way. Click on this photo for a closer look at the "Gorch Fock".
We were meant to take a shuttle ferry across a canal. But a huge explosion right by the ferry harbour a week earlier made that impossible. A paraffin depot blew up big time and still stank when we got there.
Fortunately, there was a well organised shuttle bus with a bike trailer, which gave us a lift to the other side for free.
Kiel is my brother's birthplace and like him, the town centre is not considered attractive. So we hopped onto another ferry across the bay, thereby gaining time to visit one of Tina's many relatives. Fortunately it was lunch time, so her aunt conjured up some flaky pastry snacks and a salad.
We stayed too long and had to hurry to our day's destination, Hohwacht, in time for dindins - which turned out to be extremely yummy: 2 different types of fish in a rhubarb, honey and lemon grass sauce. Maybe a little experimental for some people, but right up our street.
And naturally the "Ostholsteiners" have their own local schnaps, the "Lütjenberger". The clear grain spirit comes in two varieties, a smoother, weaker version (for girlies) and the rough and ready stronger type (which Tina had).
Today's run: 64 km
