Mom has made the decision to take the ferry directly to Sweden and skip Denmark since the only part Mom would like to revisit is Copenhagen and with the new environmental restrictions, Lucy isn't welcome.

The best option to save on fuel is taking the same ferry we took going south and that's in Poland right on the German border.

When making reservations there were no cabins with dogs allowed until Wednesday the 19th, so that's booked.

Since we now have plenty of time to get there Mom looked to see if there was something else to see on our way and we stopped in Wismar 

That's Tinkerbell, our ferry 

In 1803, Sweden ceded both the town and lordship to the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin for 1,258,000 Riksdalers but reserved the right of redemption after 100 years. In 1903, Sweden finally renounced its claims to the town. Wismar still retains a few relics of its old privileges, including the right to fly its own flag

Fish was being sold from boats on the dock I guess it makes the illusion that the boat just sailed in and is selling its catch. Looking closely these boats weren't equipped for fishing................or?

During the 1949 to 1990 era of the German Democratic Republic, Wismar became East Germany's second-largest port, after Rostock, and developed a shipbuilding industry. Although the GDR government had pledged to restore the local churches and historic sites that had been heavily bombed during the war, this commitment was for the most part not fulfilled

After German reunification in 1990, churches and all historic buildings in the city's town center were restored, and the old town of Wismar was listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site.

 The Wasserkunst (Waterworks) is the most renowned landmark and sits at the center of the market square. Built back in 1602, the ornate well supplied the city’s drinking water until the late 19th century. Even though it’s lost its original purpose, the Wasserkunst is still the centerpiece of the Old Town

A restaurant with that name had to be special so Mom said

So we sat down and ordered the usual and that's all good  but look at this mess, how awful, I had a piece of tomato and then I looked around to see if I can get something better.............Mom caught my thought and stopped me from getting of the chair.

Every summer, this city hosts a big party reminding of the 155 years of membership in the Swedish Kingdom. For one weekend the inhabitants of Wismar celebrate an impressive historic city festival together with guests from all over the world - the largest Swedish Festival outside of Sweden.

Walking on these streets has to be done with great care and is not very comfortable for my paws and Mom says an occasional bad word as her feet slip between a rock.

This was a nice slow day not too busy streets, just the way we like it

The day after we continued to Poland and we are now camping here until ednesday

Life is great

It hasn't been easy to get Mom to help me with my story, because now Mom got a book that completely mesmerized her. The author is from her puppy town and the story is about a woman's life and struggles to live in Northern Sweden from 1896 to 1985. ...

Ever since we arrived in Mom's puppy town she's been sleeping later and later in the mornings, this morning she didn't get up until 7.30, that's a record. I think she's reminiscing back to her teens? Here I'm running after the ball at the same fiel...
