Rostock by Road, River & Rail
After a short transfer to the main tramway station, board an exclusive tram, which is still Rostock's main transportation system, and ride into the heart of the city. Upon arrival, step back in time to see Rostock,Mecklenburg Vorpommern's main highlights during a guided walk. Proceed to northern Europe's oldest university, the University of Rostock, founded in 1419 and built in Italian Renaissance style. Continue on a leisurely stroll through the Kroepeliner Strasse and Am Neuen Markt and explore the quaint shopping streets, which have flourished since the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990. You'll see the 15th century Town Hall with its 18th century Baroque front structure, and St. Mary's church built around 1398. Enjoy a guided tour of this church before spending some time at your leisure (strictly time permitting). After reuniting with your guide, walk down to the jetty to begin a relaxing cruise along the Warnow River, transferring you back to Warnemunde. During your approximate 50 minute cruise, you'll be served some typical snacks and refreshing drinks or German beer.
Note: The order of the sights may vary. St. Marien church is currently undergoing renovations; therefore, some paths of the church and the astronomical clock cannot be seen. Most shops in Rostock will be closed on Sundays.

Entry:
Deutschland - my first stop was in the university town of Freiburg. It turns out there was some sort of bicycle race and festival going on there that weekend so there were lots of food booths setup and musicians playing. I found me a place with crepes for cheap, so had to get a chocolate/banana one. Yum! I sat and listened to a jazz band amongst a crowd of beer-drinking Germans for a while. A radio station had a big stage setup with a lot of cheesey singers, but, much to my dismay, David Hasselhof never came out to sing. At night, there were fireworks which they were shooting off from a forest behind the town. I didn't think that was too great an idea as lots of sparks and such were falling on the trees...but the fireworks were cool. I went to a music/dance club called the Jazzhaus that evening where they were playing lots of music from the 1950s-60s (and a bit of the '70s). Everyone was singing along and dancing so it was fun. Freiburg Having spent almost a day in Germany, I decided to get out and went to Strasbourg, France. It's the seat of the European Union parliament and such. The buildings are of modern design, but by no means attractive. The city has an old town that's quite cool looking. Since it was a Sunday, most everything was closed and it was quiet...not much to do. Petite France in Strasbourg Having spent almost a day in France, I decided to get out and went back to Germany. :) I went to another university town, Heidelberg (the university towns have lots of cute young ladies...makes me want to go back to college). It has a big castle up on the hill overlooking the town and a couple big churches. Heidelberg I took the train from there to Frankfurt to meet up with my friend, Diana (some may remember her from Nike Desktop Support). I spent a couple days with her in Bad Homburg and since she has a computer and Internet connection, got to upload pics and update the travelog (woo hoo!). She was nice enough to drive me to Rothenburg (along the Autobahn going 500mph!). Rothenburg is another medieval walled town. Around this time is when I realized I'm either becoming a travel snob or just getting tired of seeing very similar towns. After about the 8th medieval walled town, they're just not too exciting anymore. There was a summerfest going on though which helped improve the status of the town. They had a little carnival and biergarten. I saw a bit of a puppet show in the biergarten during the day and a really bad live band that evening. Had to get a big 'ol beer too...one was enough. They had fireworks at 10:30pm to celebrate the end of the 'fest. I guess that will have to do as pre-July4 fireworks for me. Rothenburg From Rothenburg I did a daytrip to Bamberg. With all the train changes, it actually took a while to get there (it's not really too far in distance). Bamberg had a cute old town and several churches. Again, it's pretty but I've seen similar stuff already. I stopped in Nürnberg on the way back. It had a couple cool fountains and a castle up on the hill. And, of course, the pedestrian shopping area. I'm not doing much of any shopping on this trip so I don't linger around the stores. My train was late leaving Nürnberg so I missed my connecting train back to Rothenburg and ended up stuck in a little town a ways away (no more trains after 8pm!). I had to take a taxi back to Rothenburg. If I knew how to speak German, I'd yell and curse at the freakin' Die Bahn (train) people to reimburse me. I don't like Die Bahn anymore. Bamberg Next stop was Füssen - castle country. I did a 5km walk out to where the castles are and did a tour of Hohenschwangau. That's the castle Ludwig II grew up in. It's right above a lake so in a pretty area. In town that evening, they had some ...

Weihnachtsmarkt Rostock
Der Weihnachtsmarkt Rostock ist der größte Weihnachtsmarkt Norddeutschlands und zählt zu einem der schönsten Weihnachtsmärkte im Norden. Rund um den Neuen Markt Rostock erstreckt sich der Weihnachtsmarkt mit unzähligen Glühweinständen, Riesenrad, Kinderkarussel, Wiener Sportrad und anderen Fahrgeschäften und Ständen. Der Rostocker Weihnachtsmarkt ist auch bei unseren Nachbarn aus Dänemark und Schweden sehr beliebt. Viele Skandinavier kommen am Wochenende mit der Fähre nach Rostock zum Weihnachts Shopping und Besuch des Weihnachtsmarktes. Empfehlenswert ist auf jeden Fall auch eine Fahrt mit dem Riesenrad, da hat man einen tollen Ausblick auf den Neuen Markt und den Rostocker Weihnachtsmarkt.

Geocaching in Parkstein Germany during thunderstorm
Was out with my wife one evening trying to find a few chaches that have been close to me but not along my main routes. So we decided to get them and this storm rolled in. It was fun!
