From Kiel to Lubeck

Lovely, sunny day! There is not much to see in the industrial city of Kiel. I decided to go by train to the historic city of Lubeck. It takes 1 hour 20 minutes and costs 31 euro round trip. The Lubeck main station is conveniently located just steps from the Old City. Grab city map at the it point in the station, and 10 min later you will see the highlight of Lubeck’ architecture: city gate Holstein Tor. The old city is located on the river island. There is cathedral and few other churches – the entry is free except St Mary’s where they charge 4 euro. I specially enjoyed visit to St Augustine where is a great organ and I was listening to the rehearsal – the artist played toccata of Bach… many narrow, cobbled streets. It took me 2 hours to get to the Burg gate – also very impressive. In the courtyard near Stary’s there is little, funny devil – many tourist taking picture of this statue. I returned to the ship only around 4 pm. A crowd of new passengers – mostly Germans is still boarding “Euribia”. I will disembark tomorrow in Copenhagen.
