Day 4: Miserable between Stralsund and Sassnitz - but happy end in Trelleborg

Stralsund - Trelleborg 71 km

Well, the good news is that Marly has joined us, which has greatly improved the tone of the conversation.

It was an awful day for a long time, as Neil has competently reported on his blog: http://sweatynads.blogspot.com . We were all extremely impressed with the sauna and shower facilities on the ferry, as well as the semi-final of the eurovision song contest. Needless to say, Neil was really excited about the Lithuanian entry.

I made the mistake of washing stuff in Stralsund. They didn't dry in time so my spare clothes are wet and smelly as well. Which is great because contrary to the weather forecast, it is still pissing in Trelleborg.

N. Purcell crash count: 2.5 (half a point for elegantly sliding into a cattle-grid thingy while coming off the ferry - could happen to anyone, but oddly enough it was Neil)

I Spy: Bugger all in that weather

Quote of the day: "I can't understand anything. It's all in Swedan and Germish."
