... of 85 metres above sea level (72 meters above ground). I was impressed with the walls of silhouettes of sunken ships during World Wars I and II. We climbed up to the top. There are 341 steps up to the top. I was stopping every landing near the end. But it was a magnificent view!<br><br>Then we walked along the walkway again, got some ice cream, walked back and headed home. It was a glorious day! It was very warm, too, for ...

When we finally got to Kiel, it was about 2am and I got to sleep inside (good), but on a hard bench (bad...didn't bring a sleeping mat...again!) <br>The next morning was really foggy and a bit cold, but we got on with our games. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with the tourney.... it didn't really ...

... that the professor brought in. Tomorrow will consist of the com class again and Signal Analysis and Humanities classes...but that will be for another day...obviously. After that we basically just worked on figuring out our weekend, made a quick trip downtown for Bryan to ask some girl on a date to the Kart-Haus (go-kart place), but he got shot down for HOMEWORK. I told him not to sweat it because that is what Tiffany used to say to me...

... of Denmark on my drive south towards Bremen Germany. This was a great suggestion as it got me off the main highway and through some lovely countryside. The suggestion was to go to an island and beach area called Lakolk. The clouds had started to clear up when I got there but it was still quite dreary. It reminded me of the day when I was in Cape Cod on the beach (my nothing day). I didn't stay long there. Then I continued on my journey to ...

... so we decided to head for the coast. We drove past Lubeck then along the coast towards Rostock. It was impossible to tell where West Germany ended and the East began, but soon the suburbs had long boring apartment blocks instead of pretty estates, and what at first appeared to be allotments turned out to be living quarters too.

Bonnie and me were driving, I must give him credit for being the most patient and calm co-driver I have ever seen! Even when I was being my usual silly me (driving really weird, keeping not using the mirrors but instead turn around to look, missing exits, taking the wrong exits... only to mention a few things ...
