Day 19: Hohwacht to Dahme

We can't believe our luck! While the rest of Germany is having cool, rainy weather, we are still being treated to beautiful sunshine along the cost.

We've decided to end our holiday in Rostock-Warnemünde, which gives us more time to explore this neck of the woods. Today, we continued east past some well known beach resorts, some of which were filled with ugly 70s blocks that were already crumbling to bits. We cut across country towards Dahme, a more low key, attractive location.

Going inland inevitably means climbing some hills, but the rewards are everywhere to be seen: The fields are extremely colourful at this time of the year:



Dahme itself has an unobtrusive promenade with plenty of opportunities for me to enjoy my new hobby: photographing beach baskets.







Tina checked out which of the local fish she was going to eat, before heading off to the best looking restaurant. We ended the evening with a "Fischergeist" schnaps, a cheap immitation of the infinitely superior "Friesengeist". The empty glasses made me feel like I'd won the World Cup and the UEFA Cup at the same time:



There is a film of this dirinking scene, but we have decided it is not for public viewing.

Today's run: 67 km

Total so far: 1200 km
