Sert Day 11

Catherdrals, Marzipan, Ferries and Frisbees.

Lubeck - Puttgarden - Rødbyhavn (ferry) - Vordingborg

Distance: 111 miles

After a hearty and badly needed breakfast and knowing that we had some time in hand we decided to start the day with a tour around the Marzipan capital of Europe, Lubeck.

What a wonderfull and beautiful city it is, full of history and fantastic architecture. One of our stops was the Marienkirche (St. Mary's Church), which was substantially damaged during the second world war. You would hardly know that now but for the bells that lie exactly as they fell on the night of the 28th march 1942.

Here are also a couple of gratuitious organ shots for the benifit of Our Father who art in Cork.

Don't ask me why, but Lubeck is also famous for its' marzipan, so we couldn't leave without trying some. That was after an outdoor lunch in the sunshine, looks like I enjoyed it in all.

After Lunch it was onward into Denmark via the Puttgarden-Rødbyhavn ferry, with a plan to find somewhere for our final two nights which was an OK round trip to pop by the wedding planners and also not to far from Rødbyhavn for our early morning trip back to Keil.

Deciding we had gone far enough into Denmark we left the motorway immediately after we came across the bridge onto Sjælland, the Island on which Copenhagen is situated. We found ourselves and expensively mediocre hotel in the pretty seaside town of Vordingborg, enjoyed a spot of Frisbee in the large park and some reasonable food in a local resturant.

Another good day on the road as the Spitfire European Road Trip near it's end.
