prisca | My short trip to the Baltic sea

Finally here it is ;)

It was a great trip I did enjoy so much. Okay, the arrival was not so much fun. I did go by train, which I usually like, but it was the hottest day of the week and the train was much too overcrowded. And when I finally reached my terminal station there was no free cab far and wide to bring me to the holiday resort, so I had to wait for about half an hour in the burning sun.

But when I finally reached my hotel every stress fell off within a second or so. I was at Weissenhäuser Strand before with my children, and I always loved it to be there, but this was about 20 years ago, and I was not sure if it would be still the same. But it felt like coming home :)

So often I feel stressed out and tired but when I was there it felt as if nothing else did exist any more than the sea, the wind, the waves, the seagulls. Every day I went down to the sea to sit there at a bench on the sea bridge for an hour or so. I did take short walks along the boardwalk and had lunch at a small bistro right at the sea. The weather was perfect, not too hot. One day we even had pretty stormy weather and I did love this.

Every day in the afternoon I went back to my hotel, and after a short rest, I visited the hotel pool with a big wellness area. I did enjoy it very much, though I'm not a big sauna- and wellness friend. But the two pools and the whirlpool were great. And not overcrowded because most of the visitors prefer to go to the big waterpark of the resort.

Later I went to the 'village square' of the resort to have dinner (very yummy). When I got home around 8.00 o'clock my feet were hurting like hell but I felt sooo totally satisfied; I couldn't have been happier.

It was difficult to say goodbye after three great days, but I found a good solution to make it easier:

I've already booked my next trips to Weissenhäuser Strand. ;)
