Warnemunde, Germany

While we were heading to Warnemunde we had a day at sea and that evening our second formal night of our cruise.

Here we are waiting for our dessert. Thank goodness the portion sizes of our meals were reasonable and so we only gained two pounds each the whole time we were gone (it helped to always take the stairs too).

Our friends and fellow travelers, Kathleen and Terry Oyama.

Gene and Karen Gold. We also had Sally Gold and her friend and relative Jan Gold from Salt Lake City.

O.J. and Vickie Hansen. O.J. was just released from serving as our bishop for the past six years. This was a needed vacation for them.

For some reason I got really sleepy after dinner (too many carbs) and had to rest for a minute. I think our late nights of dancing until 2 am was catching up with me.

This was a tasty appetizer that was ordered quite often at our table.

The next day we arrived in Warnemunde, a beautiful coastal resort town with white sandy beaches in northeast Germany (Berlin is only a 3 hour bus ride away). Of course, we had to try some real German ice cream. Yummy!

We took our own private tour of Warnemunde.

Because of the e-coli scare that had hit northern Germany we stayed away from fresh produce and sampled some delicious pastries and orange Fanta soda.

Walking along the beach and enjoying the Baltic Sea behind us.

Bikes are a fun way to travel especially if you want to bring your pet along too.

This Harley motorcycle was hauling a dog trailer behind it. We thought Aubrey would enjoy this picture.

Old windmill.

By the cruise ship dock there were sand sculptors that were just amazing.
