Journey – Random wood – Lubeck – Timmendorfer – lay-by near Kiel
Funnily enough without a salad incentive Ernest has forgotten how to jump on the bed. His mouth net proved semi useful though as he tried to catch mozzies somewhat successfully in the night, didn’t stop us getting quite a few bites š
Took the pups on a lovely meadow/wood walk…still no sign of wild boar but they are around and Mabel’s nose often goes into overdrive.
Lubeck was our main stop of the day and another lovely city on an island with lots of architecture, parks and lakes. With temperatures in high 20s we are constantly thinking about keeping the dogs cool. Fortunately there were lots of fountains for the dogs to walk through, cafe and shops with water bowls and gorgeous city parks. After a cafe lunch at Kaffee Haus we lounged around in one of the city parks, and then pottered about until we found the van again.
Thinking it might be cooler by the sea we drove on to Timmendorfer…we weren’t wrong. Having walked a mile to the dog beach, we were there around 15 minutes before a torrential thunderstorm hit and we got absolutely drenched. The pups were not impressed but it was still fun and brightened up almost instantly after the downpour which helped us dry off a bit on our walk back. Ernest was super brave prancing through the waves like a dressage horse… for a dog who doesn’t like water he embraced fountains, the sea, hailstones and torrential rain…the latter being his least favourite.
From there we headed towards Kiel and opted to stay in a lay-by en route…cue second thunderstorm which at least freshened the air and seemingly emboldened the mozzies to come out…you can play dot-to-dot with the number of bites I have šš
