Rest day in Lübeck
Despite it being a rest day, I got up early because the weather was beautiful again. The day must be seized. Since I hadn't booked breakfast, I ate my herring, which would have...

Route: 20 kilometers, cumulative: 1,027 kilometers | Elevation: 70 meters, cumulative elevation: 4,050 meters, distance from home: 777 kilometers (as the crow flies).
After yesterday's walk, I was so tired that I fell asleep while watching a movie and only woke up after 11 p.m. By then, I no longer felt like watching a movie and just went back to sleep. 😴
After 7 a.m., I started packing, even though I was in no hurry at all. My trip to Travemünde was just a hop away. A few more kilometers were added because I wanted to take a look at the town of Travemünde this time. Oddly enough, I just now realized where the name of the town comes from. The river Trave flows into the Baltic Sea here. The Trave flows through Lübeck, and I took the described boat trip yesterday. Lübeck is very large in area, and Travemünde is also part of it, along with all the places I passed through today.
In Travemünde, I sat in a street café and watched the people. There were a lot of people, most of them tourists. Then I had to do what is simply expected during a visit to the Baltic Sea: eat a fish sandwich.
Later on, I added a few more kilometers on my bike; I had to ride back a bit to the big harbor. And here I am now, waiting until I can board the ship at 11 p.m. I expect to be able to go to my cabin at midnight to sleep again.
**Español:**
Después de la caminata de ayer, estaba tan cansado que me quedé dormido mientras veía una película y solo desperté después de las 11 p.m. Sin embargo, en ese momento ya no tenía ganas de ver la película y simplemente volví a dormir. 😴
Después de las 7, comencé a empacar, aunque no tenía ninguna prisa. Mi viaje a Travemünde era solo un pequeño salto. Sin embargo, aún me añadí algunos kilómetros, ya que esta vez quería ver un poco el lugar de Travemünde. Curiosamente, me di cuenta ahora de dónde proviene el nombre del lugar: el río Trave desemboca aquí en el mar Báltico. El Trave fluye a través de Lübeck, y ayer hice el paseo en bote que se describe. Lübeck es muy grande en términos de superficie; Travemünde también forma parte de ella, así como todos los lugares que recorrí hoy.
En Travemünde, me senté en una cafetería callejera y observé a la gente. Había mucha gente, la mayoría eran turistas. Después, tuve que hacer lo que simplemente se espera en una visita al mar Báltico: comer un bocadillo de pescado.
Más tarde, también añadí algunos kilómetros en bicicleta; tenía que volver al gran puerto. Y aquí estoy ahora, esperando a que pueda embarcarme a las 11 p.m. Se espera que pueda ir a mi cabina a medianoche para volver a dormir.
