This was a public holiday so the city stayed shut. We found an unvisited church with morning service and an organ playing. We crept in and hid in a corner but were noticed by the organist when he came out for a smoke during the sermon. We accosted him later and learnt a lot about the organ and a recital at 1800 in the Nikolai church.
We had a very good lunch in Lübecker Hanse and amused ourselves in walking and eating cake till then. The recital was only so-so, dedicated to showing of the organist and the organ rather than making music. This was understandable as Lübeck has just paid an enormous sum for the organ’s restoration.
We pootled off to Travemunde at this point looking for a light snack before taking the night boat to Sweden. Now a light snack is a difficult concept to articulate and we settled for concoctions involving two fried eggs, ham and potatoes.
We got on the boat after getting through the check in system and motoring off into a vast concrete area with no guidance at all. Luckily we’d been told the boat was the Peter Pan and eventually spotted a large cartoon of this figure in the gloom. I suppose this is guidance systems for the illiterate.
We found our cabin and retired to bed happily tired and went to bed after buying a litre of aquavit. Our extra expenditure for an outside cabin was largely wasted as the weather was foggy but we arrived safely and on time at Trelleborg, got caught up in the rush hour and escaped to drive again rather boringly to Nyköping.
Badger seemed fine when we found her but we left her alone. Clocked into our hotel and went off to Kohiro for lovely Sushi before bed time.
