After a prolonged breakfast, with the sun streaming through the window, I hung out the clothes that I had been soaking all night, making sure that I hung all the 'smalls' in the middle of the clothes line so that they could not be seen. German motorhomers generally do not hang out washing outside their motorhomes. But the sun was shining and I knew that it was a good drying day. In my new role as retiree I try not to waste money on laundromats!
Then it was time to get the bikes out and join all the other retirees on the bike paths. I am amazed at how many of us there are in the camping grounds, all with our motorhomes or caravans and of course our bikes, which are attached to our vehicles whilst moving from one place to another. Of course everyone else is either working or in school!
Waren is a delightful place, full of character, colourful houses and atmosphere. We arrived first at the marina, which reminded me a bit of St Tropez but not such huge boats of course and no one posing.
Then we went to the square. As you can see from the photo the buildings are very picturesque. I was impressed with the shape of the fountain which is made of wrought iron.
This is the main shopping street. As it was Saturday, it was fairly busy.
Lunch was quite a tame affair, as we decided on the special of the day, which turned out to be schnitzel and potato croquettes with a vegetable sauce on top. Not very original but still tasty. The beer was great. My face is red, due to the reflection of the orange umbrella rather than from drinking too much beer! Honestly!
The horses and carriage are waiting on the bride and groom to appear from the town hall. The bride looked much older than the groom, and was nearly twice his size but they looked happy which is the main thing.
Tomorrow we intend to go for a very long bike ride around one of the arms of the lake. We hope the day will be as sunny as today.
