We got up around 8:30 yesterday morning to (momentarily bright blue skies and a cuckoo that startled Mark because “it sounded like a darn cuckoo clock”). We got up and ventured out to find a bakery and got rolls for breakfast. Afterwards, we went for our first of several walks in various constellations. We went out for lunch (sans Kai, who wasn’t hungry) and had lots of lovely fish (pork for Mark), and then had a much-needed long afternoon nap, before we all of us went for more walks. My favorite walk is away from the resort (which is actually a bit blah and doesn’t have the charms of Usedom for me) towards a sandy cliff to the west of the village. After our last walk on our own (always my favorite; Kati continues to want to buys stuff, to which I have increasingly allergic reactions, and Kai wants to talk about nothing but Minecraft with me), we came home around 6 with yet more rolls, to greet Dorothee and Judith, who had arrived a half hour earlier from Judith’s home in Schoenboeken. We had a good time–Abendbrot for eight on the baland then another walk to show Dorothee and Judith around. Again, we had some sun and some clouds, but at least no rain. We sat and had wine and chocolate until almost 11 pm and then went to bed, finally.
