Rostock / Warnemünde

Hey Gals,

I'm just a little late with the report about my tour to Rostock & Warnemünde alsmost two weeks ago.

For the people who don't know lots about Germany: both cities are at the sea and Rostock always have been a really important one because of its huge harbour and shipyard.
Warnemünde is right now a very famous destination for tourists and... people who would like to see seahounds and seabears.

Going there was a pretty spontaneous decision.
I friend lives there because of studying and so I finally took the chance to get there again.
All in all we really had a nice time together. <3

First we brought my luggage to her new home and flat.
She really was lucky because the previous tenant is a master painter and so the flat was really in a nice shape with a lot of given living accessoires. Perfect for whose who have a low budget.

We then did some shopping for dinner and breakfast and went to Warnemünde by train.
It was just a short stop because we wanted to buy a transparent umbrella.
I love these ones so much - they are handy and good looking. <3

After having another stop in the chocolaterie we finally got to Rostock.
I haven't got much memories of the city when I was there almost 20 years ago so I really was surprised that it is somehow a cute little city. <3

The weather wasn't the best but we walked through the historic city, did some small shopping and had a funny time at the little funfair.
My friend won a cute Hello Kitty Nurse while doing the duck fishing (funny child's game at funfairs) - she gave me that one and I return the favour by giving her the prize of playing balloon dart.

Just saved this little guy from bad bycicles

The Finland shop with a lot of Moomin

Loved this fabric shop with the decoration

Afterwards we walked a lot more, saw a lot of the city and just got home around 9PM.
I was so tired that I just collapsed on the couch as we watched "In Time".
(Nice movie by the way)

On Sunday we did our real Warnemünde trip.

Starting with the science center for seahound research we took part in the presentation of the center and also got the chance to watch the seahound training.

They are really incredible cute creatures! ♥

But it's sad to know that they are just there because the zoos abadon them because of younger male seahounds (propagation's reason) ...

The animals really love to be trained, to play, to be occupied and the staff really is into it.

I decided that I want to take a swimming course with seahounds in summer.
It's really expensive but I want to do it once in my life.

Going to the lighthouse, having a harbour tour, eating some delicious Dansh ice cream and buying a 50% beautiful red blouse (lucky me!) it then was already time to return to the mainstation in Rostock because of my train back home.

I really wish that I could have spent much more time there!

Next blog entry will be about the finishing of renovating my room.
I'm happy since a week and really love the colours. ♥
