July 25 - Goodby Denmark, Hello Germany

Saturday - Nykobing, Denmark to Rostock, Germany - We guess that Denmark is sad to see us leave so the sky is crying.....a lot!

Actually, we are a little sad also to be leaving. 

Well maybe not that sad to leave the wet stuff behind!

Seems like we just got the essentials figured out.

Gedser is our town of departure.

We aren't the only ones heading south.

She was trying to dry out her shoes.

The passenger waiting area ticket machine was broken so Donna had to act like a bus and get our tickets at the motor vehicle entry point.

And then the sun came out! These chaps are from Australia.

Just waiting our turn to go up the stairs to the upper deck.

Where there was coffee and hot chocolate! The two hour ride gave us some time to work on pictures for the blog.

This Swedish bus driver was full of questions about our journey and gave us a thumbs up as he drove off the ferry.

Just waiting for all the tour buses to depart.

Seemed like it took forever to get out of the port area as it was so large

From BIG ferry to Little ferry.This one takes us across the Warnow River to downtown Rostock.

Lunch was waiting for us on the other side which meant we had to figure out the menu in German now. Thank goodness for Google Translate.

We arrived at our hotel as they were preparing for this wedding party. The couple arrived to fireworks going off along the driveway and were showered with poppy petals.

Must be a German tradition. The bride and groom are cutting through a log with a hand crosscut saw.
