Easter in Rostock 2018

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.

Den Haag, Netherlands Part 3

Our last day in Den Haag we wandered around just a bit more First stop - the Antique and Book market The ground was all seashells Mondrian on the water by the government buildings We decided to get lunch at Cafe Zeta which was in Grote Markt where they were having a free music festival, Sinester.

The final days in Paris

Our second day of our museum pass we used to go to the Louvre. It so huge - we spent from open to close there and just managed to see everything. It is also very confusing how to get from point a to point b - so many stairs and up and down floors just to see the one floor....good thing I had Raymond or I would have wondered aimlessly forever (but by the end I had the hang of it). We started with the medieval Louvre, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Egyptian Antiquities. When we first walked in we were right behind a few tour groups, but somehow we lost them pretty quick and we able to walk around and brows without tons of people. I cannot imagine going during the summer when it is super crowded. I liked the different colors of stone on some of them After that we got some lunch nearby then headed back to look at the paintings Then my favorite part - decorative arts. So much fun pretty things. Replica of Napoleons apartment. Then ...
