Sun 1st – Mon 2nd July
We had to wait until 10.00am for the harbourmaster’s
mother to come along and open up in order to get our 50euro deposit back. She
used to be a teacher of Russian and German and wanted to practise her English
so I had a bit of trouble getting away. The drive took us about 2 hours across
country roads again, but luckily quite quiet as it was Sunday, a very pretty
landscape of fields and woods mainly.
All the villages we went through were deserted. We found the
wohnmobilplatz near the canal/river in Parchim fairly easily and got ourselves
parked up on what is basically a car park with space for 12 motorhomes along
one side with power points @ .50c per kwh. Another 50c gets you in to the
toilet/shower, another 50c gives you a shower and another 50c gives you
50litres of water to fill up the motorhome. Still the basic price was only 6
euros so we can’t complain. After lunch and a snooze we meandered along the
canal a bit looking at the boats moored up, some were literally houses afloat.
Some children were swimming in the water but it looked somewhat murky to us, we
wouldn’t fancy it. It has been sunny and cloudy all day today, but not so hot,
let’s hope it stays like this.
Mon…
Once again it dawned sunny and hot, we have been so lucky
with the weather on this trip. We went for a meander around the rather pretty
town of Parchim, with it’s old and new buildings mingled together, but we found
many of the shops were closed and boarded up. A coffee and cake beckoned around
elevenses time when we came across a lovely little café around the old market square. We bought a
couple of useful kitchen gadgets in a kind of euro shop and then some foodie
bits in Netto. Back at the van it was sweltering, so after lunch we just
chilled out for the afternoon. After dinner we went for a walk alongside the
river/canal and found quite a few more big boats moored up, all very
interesting.
