Late spring holiday 2024; Thursday 2 May

Wittenbeck, Germany

We were up much earlier this morning, and away before 10:00 am. Our first port of call was an Edeka, but this was a mistake as it didn't have the "Brotzeiteier" or coloured, hard-boiled eggs, that I wanted. The Netto of two days earlier hadn't had them, either. It also didn't have any cucumber salad, although I did get potato salad and white cabbage salad (Lidl actually sold that last time they had a German week, and it was lovely!), and some Leberkäse to have one of these evenings - I think I've said before that it is neither liver nor cheese, but a kind of sausage that one fries up and serves, ideally with chips and an egg on top.

We then headed off to Lübeck, where we stopped for a walk and had lunch - I chose the wrong restaurant, really, as all they could offer us was Flammekeuchen, which, while delicious, lingered! I didn't have anything else afterwards, as I wanted to pop into DM and Edeka (which also didn't have the eggs) across the road, and the taste of the Flammekeuchen stayed in my mouth the entire afternoon, and is only just going now, after a cup of tea! 

So we finished our walk round Lübeck and returned to the WoMo before our parking-ticket expired. We then headed off here, to Wittenbeck, where we have stayed before for the Mollibahn, which we hope to use tomorrow to go and explore Bad Doberan properly. We are here for two nights this time.

  1. So that's like 'head cheese' which is a sort of brawn?

    1. No, more like a solid pâté. Even-textured, and very good. Although you wouldn't be able to eat it as it is pork-based. Google it for images.
