The Trip to Europe - Part V

Hello, again!

It seems there is a severe lack of opening statements in my blogging vocabulary. Do comment suggestions.

So we went walking from the station to the hotel. Checking in the hotel was not difficult. We then asked the lady who seemed to be the hotel's manager/receptionist (there were about 6 ladies managing the hotel in two shifts, who, I think, worked as managers/receptionists) what she thought we should do.
Again, in incomplete and sometimes discontinuous German (obviously from our side) we decided our route.

We went by an extremely, extremely overpriced taxi.

We first went to Königstuhl (photos below), which are chalk cliffs. They are in a reserved area, and are also a world heritage site.
I also saw the first expanse of the Baltic Sea. That was the first time I was by the sea (on the top of a cliff of chalk) and was chilly.

We came back by a relatively less expensive but expensive nevertheless bus.

The best thing was that the people were very friendly, and were probably scrutinising us alien creatures who can't speak their language and don't seem to understand anything.

The next day, we went to Ostseebad Binz. People visiting Rügen generally stay here, but the hotel prices are about the times as high.

Unlike really cold places in India, where a steaming coffee is much lower in temperature (due to high altitude), I did not have that comfort in Rügen. It is at sea level.

The photos of the pier there will be posted next post. We also bought water bottles there - a lot of them. More about that next post too!

Farewell, until the next post.
