The plan to hightail it up the canal to Kiel fell through today for a mix of reasons. Food shopping had to be done and Nic had to work on the water system which has developed a glitch. After these jobs we sallied forth to downtown Rendsburg to see the Saturday market and bought salmon and roll mops for supper.
The town is mostly modern but with some appealing bits of medieval thrown in. (See pics) We had pasta lunch, coffee and a delightfully vague wander around sunny streets. Along the way we decided which day we will fly back to the UK and even booked the Hamburg flights on the phone.
Back to the boat for some serious planning about where we go tomorrow when the target is reached and we are actually IN the Baltic. We've spent so long just getting here that we hadn't a plan beyond Kiel!
Now we have a plan. (See pic of Lesley and charts),More of that anon.
We hear dark rumours of hours waiting to exit the final lock in the Kiel Canal because only one of four locks is working, dammit. Could be a long day tomorrow.
