Linquenda is now shut down , packed up and ready for winter. We left her Thursday and set off with our backpacks laden, what happened about the lightweight packing? First a run to the bus stop, a missed bus so a cooling down period then finally the next bus, next a longer wait at station then the train to Berlin. A relaxed search and change of trains to Hamburg, a fast and easy hour and half latter we were in Hamburg. Then the stress started, there is something about Hamburg's main railway station. Trains are changed from one platform to another at a moments notice, usually only minutes before they are due to arrive so although one thinks one is organised and on the right platform, wrong . So as usual we had a mad dash and an attempt at the 4 minute mile with backpack. Keep in mind by this time it was peak hour so we were not the only ones doing headless chook impersonations. Thankfully sunk into a seat, on the right train with a matter of seconds to spare. One hour latter it was back on with the backpacks and out into the rain at Lübeck. Not so far , after some directions from the locals , and we found our holiday apartment, home for the next 5 nights. Gorgeous , just my sort of place with an eclectic mix of art on the walls.
Pictures of the apartment hopefully if this tablet behaves. Tablet has been playing up badly, shuts down completely as soon as I use the camera option , problem seems to be if I take too long to take photo so now down to a fine art of turn on, take photo in 1 to 2 seconds then quickly turn off. Trying to plan the composition of the photo a luxury I do not have anymore. Fortunately Lübeck is a stunning city and totally forgiving.
Holstentor , symbol of Lübeck, built in late Gothic style in between 1464 & 1478. Forms the entrance to the old town and the only one of the 4 gates left.
Historic Salzspeicher, Salt Warehouses, built between 1579 & 1745. The white gold that was so popular in Scandinavian. Salt stored here before being sent on up further north to Scandinavian.
Street scapes. The streets of the old town are enchanting, endless photo opportunities.
Little low tunnels , for want of a better description, leading to back houses, gardens.
And of course doors, I do love a pretty door.
