Monday was supposed to be stormy, but the morning certainly wasn't. I went walking around the canals surrounding the Altstadt. This was mostly where I'd already been on the boat trip.
I went inside the Lubecker Dom, the cathedral.
Continuing on around the canals, and back to the area near the Holstentor.
Some more photos from within the Altstadt.

| St Stifti Church (the one I climbed) |
 |
| These were huge! |
 |
| Heilige Geist Krankenhaus, now a retirement home |
 |
| An Erdbeerhof - a stall selling only strawberries! I saw a couple of these, plus one for asparagus. |
Not sure what this building is. It's near the Hanseatic Museum, but I don't think it's part of it. The next five photos are of this same building.
On Tuesday morning, I made a quick trip to the Marienkirche, another very large church in Lübeck. There's a cute devil on a bench outside. Legend has it he helped build the church, not knowing what it was. He was so upset when it was completed and he found out what it was that he threatened to destroy it. To stop him, the locals built a bar nearby, complete with alcohol, and the devil was happy with that.

| These bells remain where they landed when the church was destroyed in WWII |
And a final shot of the Holstentor as I was leaving. This time, I walked around the other side. And, yes - it's as crooked as it looks!

| The Leaning Tor of Holsten! (except Tor means gate) |
