Strategic fake rivers



16052019

We travelled through the Kiel Canal. It was effectively a day at sea. They pitched the experience as a super special exciting thing, but in reality it was a sea day, but we could see land on both sides.

The Kiel Canal itself is about 60 miles, and it shaves about 250 miles off of travel times rather than going around the Jutland peninsula. The Germans built it in the late 19th primarily for military purposes, it links the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, so they could move their fleet around quickly.

Beyond that my dad taught Laura and I how to play sheeps head, we played a few rounds and then all broke for a nap.

And writing this a few days late, I don't recall what I ate. Which means it wasn't super great.

No pictures no fun food. Sorry.
