Back to boat

After the successful introduction of our first grandchild to the world - nothing to do with us, all credit to his parents - we have journeyed back to the boat in Flensburg. 

We left Greenwich at 0530 yesterday 16 Aug and drove 1,000Km via the DFDS Channel ferry to Fehmarn, the island on the German Baltic coast where we will leave the boat for the winter. After an expensive hotel night (peak hols) we signed the storage contract, parked the car in the shed where the boat will go, and got a taxi to the station. 4 trains later and ano taxi we are on the boat at 9pm. 

We spent a few hours in Lubeck on the way, visiting the 3 main historical buildings (pics) and relaxing in a couple of excellent off-the-beaten-track cafes. 

Amazingly all the logistics of the 2 days travelling worked perfectly.
