Easter in Rostock 2018

By -
We decided to go up to the coast for Easter last year and went somewhere new - Rostock. You have to go out to Warnemunde to get to the actual coast, but I couldn't find any places available that overlooked the water so we stayed in the city instead. And it snowed!

Wandering around a wet, snowy Rostock








We did take the train to Warnemunde one day and it was gorgeous, but super cold!






While wandering in Rostock we saw there would be a choir concert at St Marien church so we decided to check it out. It was the St John Passion by Heinrich Schütz and...was just okay. Really a few of the singers were not very good so...plus it was freezing in the church. No heat or anything, it was cold outside so those stone walls and suff just made it so so cold. 


We went out to the coast one day to do some wandering in the woods

Wetlands



Pretty tree bark




















More snow once we got back to town!

From our hotel room


We had gone to Grune Kombuse for dinner one night and it was super tasty so we decided to go back on Easter for their Easter dinner. Barlauch cream soup

And tempeh salad starters

Veggie nut roast with onion chutney, rosemary potato balls, and roasted veggies. This was so tasty! The potato balls tasted like stuffing!

So tasty! Really we had a lot of tasty food in Rostock, but I didn't take photos. We mainly just wandered the town playing Pokemon and watching the snow from our room.

  Getting to Railay Beach from Bangkok kind of takes forever. We had taken the overnight train from Bangkok to Surat Thai where we had to switch to a bus to take us to Krabi. I slept much better on the train that night. I had put in my earplugs and only woke up a few times. It was great. I woke up around 6 and was ready to go. Raymond was just like you are so wakey! I was just like yeah - I actually slept! So I was all refreshed and ready to go.    We had picked up some banana muffins in Bangkok for breakfast, as well as leftovers from our feast the night before, and the muffins were delicious! We should have gotten more of them than we did. So we got to Surat Thani and had to switch to a bus like I said. It was a bit confusing where we should go and what was going on, but we got on the bus and it took us into Surat Thani Town. That bus was really nice so I thought the trip to Krabi would be great. Only we had to wait a bit and switch buses and the new bus, the one that took us

Oh man, so I know I am always trying to stay up to date on this travel blog thing, but I always fail at it. Partly because I forget about it and do other things, but since covid we are not traveling for the foreseeable future I thought now would be a great time to post my old travel photos! Might not be much detail on where/what that kind of thing, but I still like having picture posts for places I have been so I can look back on them if I go there again.  First up - Rome in the summer of 2018! Now summer is NOT my ideal time to go to Rome. It was so so so hot! I was dripping sweat and super gross the whole time. The only reason I went was there was an author event there so I took a long weekend with my friend Savannah. She has been before so she was kind of the tour guide for us when we were wandering around the city and even though I felt like I was going to die it was so hot we had a lot of fun. The author event wasn't downtown so we stayed out at the hotel where it was w
