From Warnemünde to Berlin

On June 28, our cruise ship arrived in Warnemünde, Germany. We wouldn’t be staying near the port for long, though. We boarded a train and headed to Berlin for the day.

Berlin is a long way from the coast for a single-day excursion, but it was an opportunity we didn’t want to pass up. Once we arrived, we spent the day moving through the city and seeing places that had previously existed mostly in history books and photographs.

Copenhagen: The First Stop on Our European Cruise

Copenhagen was the starting point for our European cruise and our first chance to get out and explore. We arrived on June 26, dropped our luggage off at the hotel, and started walking.

Colored buildings along waterfront

We didn’t have much of a plan for that first day. We wandered through the city, taking in the architecture, the bicycles, the waterfront, and the mix of old and new that seemed to be around every corner. After traveling overnight, walking was a good way to stay awake and get our first look at Copenhagen.
