Morning Swim in the inlet to the Baltic sea, nudist beach but everyone including us, in togs. Very little English spoken. Missing our kind, helpful , hospitable Norwegian relatives 😢

Patrolling frigates on the far side of the inlet 

Stony beach and entry to water , but sand after a  few feet .Occasional showers.

2 of these patrolling the far shore

Dog walking one side of the beach, humans the other 

We swam before the rain fronts appeared 

Water  was bracing but tolerable, and Andy didn't wear his shorty wet suit  

Onto Bremen next.

Arrived  in Bremen at 5 pm after 153 miles , through Hamburg and bouts of heavy rain,  to obtain one of the last MH spaces on a  large MH park (Riesermobil Stellplatz am Kuhhirten, Bremen)  30 mins  walk from the old town. 20€ per night (leave by 2 pm the next day, pay by card on exit) plus 2€ for EHU (cash only) 

We walked to the local river beach 5 mins from the Stellplatz  and discovered a ferry which crosses the river Weser , so we caught the ferry across  and walked into the old town along the river, to eat out  and sight see.

Our fellow diner at the street kitchen gathered a lot of attention

Ferry was 6€ return 

Lots  of river traffic

Cathedral 

Town hall /Chamber of commerce 1500's

State parliament building 1996 ( right of photo)  constructed next to 1000 year old cathedral , was a controversial decision

 

Handsome buildings 

Lots of graffiti ' fight gentrification ' 

Large park in the centre ( zig zag style) where everyone chills in the evening 

Interesting statues 

And a lake 

Back to the other side for a drink before bed time
