Day 21: Lübeck to Wismar

A hearty breakfast with Sabine and Christopher was followed by a merry photo session on their balcony:



We enjoyed ourselves so much, we left Lübeck a bit late and were playing catch up all day. There were some quite strenuous climbs along the way and Tina's mood turned really sour when we discovered that there had been a booking error with our room in Wismar. So we had to call around and get into town quickly. I hasten to add that the mistake had nothing to do with me or my Navi!

So we had to splash out on a fancy hotel, which I was happy to do to improve Tina's spirits. Wismar is often overlooked despite having an old town that rivals Lübeck and Stralsund. We enjoyed our room with a view as the sun began to set.



The hotel receptionist gave us a good tip for dinner in another historical building that used to belong to a hanseatic wine dealer.



Fantastic food! I had duck with red cabbage, while Tina tucked into her Mecklenburg roast with plums, raisins and more red cabbage.



As you can see, we are making the most of our last couple of days on holiday.

Today's run: 82 km

Total so far: 1350 km
