Finally summer may be coming and only three stops left. Even the locals are complaining about the cold, wet spring. We keep washing the only warm clothes we brought, but today we could wear shorts comfortably.
We were charmed by the wall of bells above an open air resturant on the pedestrian plaza. They played lovely music at regular intervals that we enjoyed as we passed this intersection several times.
The old town is protected by eleven huge gates and four remain. Different architecture here with half-timbered houses and not as much gothic/renaissance influence. Great modern uses of cobblestones and pavers. I will miss the cobblestones (old and new) and intricate pavers of Europe.
We took a boat into Rostock and walked the town.
Interesting brick shoes on the walk outside a shoe store. School must be out since there were plenty of kids everywhere.

When we returned to Warnemunde, we walked out through a quaint quay-side area to the three lighthouses which signal the entrance to Rostock/Warnemunde harbors. From the top of the lighthouse we could see the beach with lines of beach chairs, umbrellas and people. You would have thought it was Florida!! We miss hearing from friends and family.
