Lübeck; Saturday, 14 April, 2012

After a late start (I thought I’d hit snooze on the alarm clock, but had actually switched it off), I headed out to the station to pick up the train south to the town of Lüneburg.

I was quite glad I’d made the decision to head out of town as every few minutes another packed train would pull into Lübeck and disgorge another couple of hundred people into an already heaving town centre.

I arrive in Lüneburg in the early afternoon and went for a wander around the city centre taking in the sites, before stopping off at the old water tower to take the lift to the top for the views, and then a descent back down through the workings of a water tower.

I had a longer walk around the city taking in the impressive St John’s church and the St Nicolai church before stopping for a very late lunch near the Abbot Mill.

As it was starting to look a little overcast, and with exhausted feet, I headed back towards the station to catch the train back to Lübeck.

The sun had already set by the time I got back into Lübeck so I had a quick wander around the Holstentor area to take some night photos before heading back to the hotel.
