Today (Sunday) we went to the Nord-Ostsee Kanal (roughly the north-east sea canal) which is the link between the north sea (surrounding England etc) and the Baltic sea. In the space of about 5 minutes we saw the same number of huge freighters pass through the locks at the east end of the canal.
Pictured below are my room-mate Peter from Bavaria, myself and Mark from Texas whom I met today. He is an engineer and knows everything about ships - so this was an exciting trip for him.
We also went for a walk on the north side of the canal and we found this ship. My guess is it got caught in some sort of time rift in the canal during the Danish occupation of Germany?
Here is one of the many beautiful lighthouses scattered along the side of the canal.
It was a fun day.
