WInterrail - 2 January 2020 (Lübeck)

My interrail trip last summer (2019) gave a taste for more.
This time, I have written about my trip on  https://karinblomblom.wordpress.com/
 
Accompanying below pictures, I have sometimes cited (in italic) a few lines from my "wordblog"  and sometimes there is instead a new supplementary text.

For those eager to learn about the sites, below links lead to the corresponding reading at the tourist information pages.

Leaving Hamburg for Lübeck.

Holsten gate, the symbol of Lübeck

I sometimes tilt my camera/mobile just to get as much as possible into the picture, this time with a part of the huge and beautiful town hall and a little slice of Niederegger...

Obviously, I'm not the only one keen on Marzipan... ;-)

The Hospital of the Holy Spirit

 

Catching the light at Königstraße...

Charming cups saying "New York is the town where no one sleeps. Luckily we are in Lübeck"

After a difficult choice among many temptations, I opted for this marzipan and nougat roll with my cappuccino.

What could a Marzipan beef taste like... Perhaps like Marzipan?

I stayed there for about two hours for the calm atmosphere, looking back on the past days with joy and writing about my trip that was now approaching its end.

More Hamburg photos in my portfolio

...I crossed the open space where I had followed the fireworks the night before, now bearing untidy reminiscences from the festivities

When thinking back on this day, the mist of the morning and afternoon plays an important role as it heightened the clear colours of for instance a yellow boat by the shore or the blue bar by a deserted café.

Being New Year’s morning, Hamburg Altona was a very quiet place...

Except for loving the Art Nouveau style, it seems I am also becoming a railway station nerd. If it is not for the art of the station,...

...it’s for the anticipation of travelling…

Deichstraße

The next point on my best plums list was Chilehaus which lightened up in the grey mist with all its lights and beautiful architecture

I was so impressed by Chilehaus and with the special light of the mist, I couldn't stop myself from taking lots of photos from which 9 more are found in my portfolio

The feeling of anticipation…, waiting for the train at the home railway station

Watching the passing landscape is an opportunity of peaceful relaxation.

...Enjoying in the same time the remains of the Christmas ham on rye bread flavored with wort, and a marshmallow Santa for dessert, a tasteful start on this first day of my WInterrail trip, which would for a part, also be a delicacy trip...

In between the two trains, I had the opportunity to see a play of light on the Post building, just outside Malmö central station.

Crossing the Oresund bridge in golden sunlight.

Train stations.... There is something special about them: If it is not for the art of the station, it’s for the anticipation of travelling…
