Day 5 ~ Wittenberge

Today has been a fairly low key day.  We chose not to take the excursion to Schwerin today since the majority of the 5 hour trip was bus ride. Instead, we took a walking tour of Wittenberg. This town of about 20,000 got its start in the 1200’s.  There is a blend of old architecture with more modern parts of the city.

The captain’s dinner was one of the highlights of the day. Not only did we have a wonderful meal, but a first class female entertainer who sang a mix of opera and show tunes.  The evening skies put on quite a lighting show for us as well.
