Otterlo to Luneburg is a longish drive but not too tiring. Our new Tomtom successfully got us to the hotel along a very tricky route through the historic part of the city. the hotel istselgf looked boring from the outside - a plain white lump - proved exciting with a steep windy staircase, ancient beams and large modern bedroom. We found our way to "Alte Brauhaus for an excellent lunch and later dinner, only later realising that I'd picked it out of Trip advisor a month or two earlier. Our hotel was very close to the historic crane on the quayside. We perambulated gently round the older parts of the city but did no formal site visiting.
The next day we made our way to Lubeck by back roads mainly to avoid the Hamburg Ring but also to explore a little. The journey was quite a difficult drive but rewarding and we rached our hotel Der alte Stadtmauer in good order using the hotel's parking and leaving the fridge in place, relying on the car's new battery overnight. Lubeck is one of our favourite cities with its Hansa history and big dramatic churches.It is also where we buy spirits for use on Badger during the summer.
The next day 18th we drifted down to Travemunde, rested and took the 2200 ferry to Trelleborg in Sweden
