Long Weekend Break at the Baltic Sea

They even got a small green park with lots of colourful flowers around but also some not so tasteful statues (at least I didn't like them much).

At the end of the day, having the fair close to our accommodation turned out not to be that bad. The noise level was high at night, granted, but at 0.30 am the latest everything was packed away, including the masses of visitors and that meant peace and silence again until the next day at around 2 pm. We could live with that. And if
we don't find anything to our liking for next year, we'll go back and make this the base to explore a bit of the surroundings.

In the afternoon we met up with Tina and her SO who don't live far away from where we were. The both of them had made a point to visit us in Eckernförde and we spent almost a couple of hours sitting in the beautiful sun at the yacht harbour (actually there is more than one!) talking and gossiping and drinking the local brew (at least the SO and I did ). It was great meeting the two of you and thanks for dropping by!

Before we left for dinner, I was treated to the arrival of one of the ships in the fleet where I always book the sailing trips for my class outings. They usually land in the Kiel harbour which is not far away from Eckernförde, but at least one of them stayed overnight here.

Dinner was at a canteen like fish restaurant. It was very loud when we first arrived but once the tables emptied the noise level became bearable.
For the food I'd return any time, but the noise was kinda dampening the experience...

Once again, no food for you, RP

The SO had local fresh fish, fried with a very taste mustard dill sauce and a side salad:


I went for the young herring again, because this time they offered two different sauces with it:
One was made up of horseradish, mustard and apples, the other was cranberry cream (the third
one was the same as on the first night ).


Once again, it was fried potatoes with it, but since we never have them at home, because I hate
preparing them, we were quite happy to eat them the third night in a row.


I'm hungry now

And with a reflection at night just minutes before bed time I'll conclude this little TT.

What beautiful blue sea and sky! The food looks quite delicious.

Don't you like the mermaid in the flowers?

Nice food

A pity that going to Ærø or Langeland is too far away Marstal is such a lovely little old town

My grandparent were born there and my mother grew up on the island of Thurö even if born in Copenhagen

Don't you like the mermaid in the flowers?

Somehow not, Flutts

Lis, I've been to Marstal several times on my sailing trips And I agree, it's a nice place to spend a long weekend.
But I also agree that it cannot be done from where I live.

Unfortunately we picked a weekend where the Eel Regatta is held (yes, it is called like that ) and we got the ferry wheel overlooking our balcony.



And drinking booths underneath us...



Flensburger is one of the northern German brews and tastes quite alright, but our favourite brand will come up further down.

And the poor dude sitting there seems somewhat outa Africa kak attitude!!!!
