Lübeck - where the money was during the Hanseatic League
Trade, Hanseatic League, money. The Holsten Gate is really beautiful. The best marzipan is at Mest. And Labskaus tastes better than expected.

The actual traveling is usually the unpleasant part of traveling. Same here. To save money, I booked my journey individually. To do this, I had to leave home at 1:15 a.m. and couldn't really sleep before or during the 3 1/2 hour flight. But at least everything went smoothly and quickly. It wasn't really surprising that the plane landed 15 minutes ahead of schedule. Finally I have to wait 4 hours at the airport for the rest of the group. So enough time to acclimatize and write my first blog post. By the way, this is my first blog. I am therefore happy to receive feedback and tips.
On the landing approach I was surprised that there were no colors other than beige and brown. A first look at the travel guide provides the explanation: The island enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year. So I say goodbye to my fantasy of lying on a meadow for four hours and look for a quiet bench in the bus parking lot.
