After far too many months of hard work ;-) it was definitely time for some vacation. So off I went to the German part of the Baltic Sea, where I had a fantastic week with Melanie<\/a>. On our way we stopped for a night in Hamburg (sorry Andr\u00e9 that I did not call ;-) where we spent our time with strolling through one of Germany’s most beautiful cities.<\/p>\n

The next day we continued to the peninsula Fischland-Dar\u00df-Zingst, three islands in the north-east of Germany that became permanently joined to the mainland by sealing the\u00a0 floodwater channels in between them. Nowadays it is a perfect place both for relaxing and exploring the natural beauty of the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park. Which we did. Sleeping in almost every day. Long walks at the beach. Good talks. Kite flying. Stops in small caf\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

But we did also explore the peninsula: We had a great hike in the Dar\u00df, an old game rich forest that changes into marshes and sandy dunes the closer one comes to the sea. Basically one moves through a lot of stunning landscapes in a very short distance. And gets a good amount of the refreshing sea breeze.<\/p>\n

Another day we went to the island of Hiddensee, which was featured in Nina Hagen’s song “Farbfilm<\/a>“. Luckily I’ve learned, so you will see a few color photographs in this post.<\/p>\n
