Rugen rally day 6

The wind was still blowing hard the next day so the ferry to Peenemunde remained cancelled. We were being encouraged to ride our bikes there – a 20km trip I believe – but I thought the wind would make the journey much too much like hard work, although others did cycle, but instead we shared a taxi with Simon and Sue.

The museum was very well presented and the English language audio guide essential. It taught me some things I had been unaware of as far as history went and there was a fair amount of philosophical musing about rocket development for warfare or a source of enhancement of our knowledge of the universe.
After the rocket museum we went round a Russian submarine. There was no information whatsoever about what we were looking at and it certainly it brought home to us how cramped life must have been for the sailors. One visitor had a claustrophobic panic and had to push her way past to get out – although I thought the lack of space for pushing past might have made her worse. The whole thing had been dressed with some mannequins who made the most unconvincing sailors and in some cases were in suggestive poses, which certainly added to the entertainment.
When we were back at the marina I cooked dinner for Simon, Sue & Nicholas – anything rather than face the eating out opportunities again! It wasn’t a late night as the wind had finally dropped and we were starting early the next morning to make the 7:45 bridge at Wolgast. |
