September 2026
This trip was undertaken as part of a holiday trip around Italy hastily planned expedition through northern Germany with the aim of finding out what they’re like over there when it comes to beer and fish:
Wismar – Poel – Lübeck – Schwerin
The last day of the trip; everyone’s tired, and the weather’s taken a turn for the worse
I suppose we’re supposed to visit the castle, but it’s just gold and paintings – only Asians found it interesting
The gardens
Kinda Versailles
The city is deserted, as always
Oh yes, there’s an election on. I don’t know what it’ll be like for you in the future, but here in ’39, the AfD is winning in some regions
The final boss of the traffic lights
There are trams in the city – long ones
The castle – in short, is the main attraction of the city
So there’s nothing to do in a city like this
The horse is parked
We went to the free museum
It wasn’t particularly memorable, apart from the bloke at reception shouting at us in German to ask where we were from. When I went closer, he repeated it in German. A German granny standing nearby translated and said, ‘Yeah, that’s a bit cringe.’ German grannies are the best, as always. The museum staff kept nagging us that we should put our shirts on properly, rather than just draping them over our shoulders. Anyway, I’d like to say hello to the museum studies department at Charles University. The problem with idiots and gatekeepers in museums is an international one
Well, the mood was getting worse, so we decided to head home quietly
We had a bite to eat and off we went; there’s nothing to do here
The icing on the cake wasn’t this herring kebab, but the fact that a girl acting all high and mighty with a Russian accent said, in almost perfect German, that she would speak exclusively in German. In short, life in this region is apparently rather depressing. Oh well, stay in the arse then
