Warnemunde 08-21-08

Today, we arrived in Warnemunde, Germany. This is our ship, the Carnival Splendor.

Warnemunde is a seaside fishing community and beach destination for German nationals.

Along with fishing boats, there are a lot of personal sailing craft in the city.



Since the city has a port on the Baltic Sea, there are several lighthouses in the area.





Lynda and I climbed to the top of this lighthouse and got a really good view of the city.



You can see our ship in the distance over the downtown area of the city in this picture from the lighthouse.





This is the boardwalk along the beach from the top of the lighthouse.

The old windmill we visited had a restaurant on the ground level.



We took a few minutes to visit this old church and sat in the pews to meditate.



Lynda and I ate bratwurst at this roadside stand for lunch.



A typical street in the shopping area of Warnemunde.



The police cars in Germany don’t resemble those of the United States!
