After arriving yesterday to wonderful hosts and a great Rotary Club to greet us in the Bremen aiport, we drove 60 km to Bremerhaven where we will stay for 6 days. We all managed to stay awake all day, probably due to friendly conversation and walking in the park. Today began with a visit to the Sail City Hotel at the harbour where we went up to the 20th floor to take in a great view of Bremerhaven and the area. It was quite windy, but the sun warmed us while we got oriented to the city sights.
Lunch was at Kutterfischer in the fish harbor area. The main attraction here is the fresh fish, 
much of which is salted or smoked and is delicious!
much of which is salted or smoked and is delicious! Then we took a double decker bus tour of the harbors of Bremerhaven. Through our hosts' translations, we learned about one of the biggest shipping harbors in northeastern Europe, along with Amsterdam and Hamburg. The enormous ships here import and export up to 2,000 vehicles each, and the cargo container shipping operation is equally impressive in sheer volume of products getting moved in and out.
Gute nacht!
