Lübeck - canal cruise

 After five days at the Weltvogelpark in Walsrode (and I'll wait until I'm home to post about that), I headed north-east to Lübeck, which is near the Baltic coast. The town has a UNESCO listed Altstadt, which is completely surrounded by water. Lübeck is the "Queen" of the Hanseatic League which dominated trade in northern Europe from the 12th to the 17th century. My first impression was "Amsterdam!"

Of course, the best weather is on my day of arrival, so I quickly dumped my suitcase and hopped on one of the ubiquitous boats that do one hour tours on the waterways surrounding the Altstadt.
