Journey: Hamberg – Schwerin – ? random field near Gross Gronau
We are continuing our Coddiwomple (love that word) and drove to Schwerin which has the most stunning fairytale castle. My photo really doesn’t do it justice. It’s on its on island and glistens golden in the light ❤️ The town itself is well manicured, perfectly presentable and serves epic iced coffee which was just as well as it was another scorching day (sorry UK readers 🙈)
We sat by the lake, the dogs took shade and we read our books, had iced coffee and pottered about. I should have taken more photos but it was all just lovely.
Almost forgot we had initially parked up and while Mark did a quick doggy wee walk I made salad for lunch. Upon returning it turns out I had to repark around the corner as was in residents only area. Thinking the centre of the bed was the least likely place for our plates of salad to fall off, that’s where I put them. Turns out the same puppy that asks to be lifted onto the bed every morning decided to help himself and when I parked and turned around he was scoffing both plates of salad! Cucumber/tomato/pickle/lettuce/hummus… seriously what dog steals salad? Jasper and Mabel hadn’t given it a second thought but Ernest will eat anything 🙈😂
From there to Rewe which is their version of Sainsbury’s we did a major stock up of food. Mark even found raisins (he has been having withdrawal symptoms and substituting cranberries).
Our next stop was going to be LeBeck but rather than a carpark campsite, we found a nice wood and parked up. It was a bit messy with litter so I did a quick litter pick and it makes such a difference. The pups evening walk was through lovely farm fields, where we saw a huge queen bee and dozens of butterflies all of which Ernest was sure he could catch with his jumping mouth net 🙈😂
After a late night last night I’m thinking bed, book and hot chocolate 😊
