During the second Corona year, we stayed in Germany at the Baltic sea in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. We rented an apartment in the spa town of Kühlungsborn and made day trips from there. This included the island of Rügen with Sellin, Prora and the National Park Jasmund. On Usedom, we saw the remains of the WW2 armaments research center Peenemünde with life-size models of the Fi103 and V2. Nearby was the Soviet-aera submarine U-461. We spent the evening in Stralsund and visited the Ozeaneum. We drove with the historic train Molli to Bad Doberan and Heiligendamm, and made on another day a combined ship and bicycle tour from Kühlungsborn to Warnemünde and back. The highlight, though, was a day in Hamburg by attending a concert in the Elbphilharmonie. On our way to the Baltic sea, we stopped by at the Sanssouci palace in Potsdam, and the Panometer and Battle of the Nations monument in Leipzig.
