Day 9 - From Bramsche to Münster

Thursday, May 27, 2021

74 km, 1 lock

We currently have stable weather conditions, it's pouring rain but we slept well and are in good spirits. Today we are completing the final leg of 320 km on the Mittelland Canal, which ends in Bergeshövel, a milestone reached. We will then continue on the Dortmund-Ems Canal in a westerly direction, passing through Ibbenbüren and Greven, until we reach the Münster lock, which was impressively large and we went through it alone. Afterwards, it's just a few more kilometers to the Münster city harbor, where we have moored, still in the rain. The city harbor is a lively quarter, with plenty of restaurants, most of which were open, and with a negative test result, indoor dining is allowed. If there's one thing we're good at, it's sticking our nose or throat out for a test. Therefore, we had a good meal at an Italian restaurant right next door, later played a few games of skat on the boat, and then went to bed.
