In the morning, I forgot to turn off the refrigerator and the car battery was dead. Luckily, the hotel director had jumper cables and we set off towards Rostock with a freshly charged battery at 11:40 am.

After an uneventful car journey, we arrived at the ferry port at 7:30 pm. Loading of the ferry did not start until 9:00 pm, so we used the time to take a short stroll around the harbor and finally boarded the ferry at 10:30 pm. We settled into our cabin at 11:00 pm. The kids were so excited that we all didn't fall asleep until 1:00 am.

To stay somewhat physically active during the vacation, I decided to do push-ups as often as possible. Every day.
