Northern Germany and Ostsee

31st July 2008 to 1st August 2008

The Baltic ("Ostsee") coast is a very popular summer destination for people from all over Germany, and much prettier and warmer than many non-Germans would suspect. The townsaround this area and in northern Germany generally are extremely pretty and full of historic buildings and interesting sights.
