Thursday - Train, Bus, Ferry from Hamburg to Rodby Harbour on Lolland Island.
Wake early & check out.
Taxi at 6:00am.
Happened upon a nice takeaway coffee + pretzel at the train station, and were on the train ready to leave at 6:34.
The train was virtually empty so we had a very pleasant journey to Lubeck and then walked about 500 metres to the bus station. The bus was late but it is a beautiful sunny day so it’s OK.
The coach was half-full so again, a pleasant ride and it was very relaxing watching the countryside fly by.
Getting closer to the Ferry Terminus was exciting. The bus drove on to the Ferry, then we all got off and went up on to the deck to get closer to the action. We are in the Baltic Sea !
After Passport control on the Denmark side, we were collected by our friend and driven straight to an exhibition, and then the construction site, of a large tunnel project that is being built between Germany and Denmark to carry cars & high-speed trains between the two countries.
Then we came home for a traditional Danish lunch of Rye bread, herrings and cold meats, then we explored the town on foot. The local church has a beautiful model ship hanging from the ceiling.
Dinner at home - chicken, potatoes, salad & Cotes Du Rhone, catching up on the last few years gap since we last saw each other.
