A day off from cycling (except to get to the train station and back). It was a cool, rainy windy day with gusts up to 50 km/hr and seeing that our next leg is through the dunes beside the Baltic Sea, we decided to wait for a better day.

So we went for a tour of the city of Rostock and a stroll along the very extensive harbour!

Race day…it was pretty exciting with the big winds/ gusts especially for the kids in little sabots…

check out this variety of winter heather….

We had to nip into the mall to avoid the rain…more flowers!

Have you ever seen a stall like this in our Canadian shopping malls?
