Schwerin

Wednesday, 23 September

No rain today and even a little bit of sun! It makes walking so much pleasanter. And walk we did - through the extended castle gardens, over to the other side of the lake and back into the town.

Our morning cuppa was in a lakeside cafe on the other side of the castle. I think we have seen it from all sides now. We enjoyed talking to the proprietor and finding out his opinion about the influx of refugees.... "Not happy Jan!"

We bumped into Shani and the Monbulk kids as we came back past the castle, so stopped to say a quick hello.

There was a market in the town square with fruit & veg, meats and wursts, cheeses, plants, eggs and fish. Had a bratwurst in bread for lunch and then headed to Pfaffenteich, another little lake a few blocks from the square. It had a big fountain and some nice cafes. We were ready to sit for a while so stopped for coffee and cake.

Lorraine has been riding the bike all day and Judy and I were on foot. We explored some lovely shops and all bought cheap, and hopefully warmer, gloves and hats in preparation for our return trip. We think we have pretty much covered Schwerin, have had a good break from driving the boat and are relaxed and ready for the next adventure.
