WARNEMUDE, Germany
At breakfast we met a couple from Bandera , Texas where we had gone on a city slicker trip years ago. We walked into town, walked back, forgot euros, another country, different currency. Found Bus 119 To Bad Doberan, BUT got off wrong stop. 3K from our destination in the outskirts, no one spoke English, we finally got a general direction and a biker gave us a short cut through a beautiful park, monastery from the 1100's, wedding , a memorable detour. We arrived at the zentrum and bought tickets for the steam train. There, we met the couple who gave us directions!!! thanks a lot. 
Molli, one of the oldest , narrow gage railroads, exited at Kuhlungbom Ost, lovely beach town . The train steamed through the countryside, have a wind chime to remind us of this great private excursion. 
Yesterday we had our cruise critic Meet and Greet,met lots of interesting people. A couple who live in their RV and travel all over the US. So now we think we are going to try that, anyone interested in going to Seattle and heading south.....
We also met Fabrizio, the only Italian officer on board, we had a long political conversation with him, he may become part of the NY to Bermuda cruise and if so promises to come over and cook a real Italian dinner , he is from Lago Maggiore.  
At dinner we sat with an army colonel and his wife stationed in Germany she is heading to Hollywood for a reunion.

Some of the best trip experiences are made by getting lost.
