The Good With The Bad

Next morning the verdict was in: show #2 in Bremen had to be cancelled.

Ticket #16 was eliminated.

No spot on the guest list.

::sadpandaface::

We felt incredibly sorry for Lee & Rich though of course. And even poor Mona was sick as a dog now. But what can you do. Get some rest and feel better again soon, guys!

Which meant for us: we needed to change hotel plans once again. Thank God it was again possible to cancel the room in Bremen and to add another night in Travemünde. Which was definitely the good with the bad. What better place could there be to get over a cancelled show ;-)

Travemünde is a borough of Lübeck, located at the mouth of the river Trave It began life as a fortress built by Henry Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony, in the 12th century to guard the mouth of the Trave, and the Danes subsequently strengthened it. It became a town in 1317 and in 1329 passed into the possession of the free city of Lübeck, to which it has since belonged.

Travemünde has been a seaside resort since 1802, and is Germany's largest ferry port on the Baltic Sea with connections to Sweden, Finland, Russia, Latvia and Estonia. The lighthouse is the oldest on the German Baltic coast, dating from 1539. Another attraction of Travemünde is the Flying P-Liner Passat, a museum ship anchored in the mouth of the Trave.

Started the first of our two full days off with a hearty breakfast that included ocean view, then strolled along the boardwalk and did some window shopping on Vorderreihe, the main shopping street. It goes al along the river Trave down to Skandinavien Kai where the big ferries arrive and leave. It's always a treat to see them going through the eye of the needle that is the Trave until they reach the Baltic Sea and make their way to Sweden and Finland. Almost feels like you can touch them.

So after some nice and relaxing downtime we ended the day with a nice dinner and went to bed early for once.

A big amount of time of our second off day was spent working on our photos, the blog, the Street Team page, researching the internet etc etc.

Today we're back to tour routine. YEAH!!

See you in Hannover!
