Tops and Flops

"Moin moin Kinners" I'm back at home!! =)

I must confess, that I am a little lazy to write a complete vacation report about Wilhelmshaven in english. Therefore I cosidered to write down my expressions in note form, classified into tops and flops. Hope you'll enjoy it.

So first the Tops:
  • Our private apartment was situated in best location so that we could reach the main points on foot.
  • The weather was magnificent! Blue sky and sunshine all day long.
  • Wilhelmshaven has a lovely downtown and pedestrian zone as well as a pleasant routing and configuration of streets and roads with marginal traffic.
  • We got the possibility to do an inspectation of the navy arsenal. It's a huge and impressive dock site and the second largest location of the German Federal Armed Forces.
  • I was astonished very positively by the navy museum, even though I almost died from agoraphobia in the submarine boat U10. =) The sightseeing of the mine-pursuit-boat Weilheim and the monumental guided-missile-destroyer Mölders was very exciting and informative.
  • We took a walk down the only south beach in Northern Germany
  • We did a lot of excursions and discovered the proximity. We found lots of charming places, saw the sunset and one of Germany's neated allotment garden colonys.
  • We've dined deliciously at the restaurant "An Bord".
  • I rediscovered my liking for Jelly Bellys^^
  • The fishroll I ate at the Backfischkutter was one of the best I've ever eaten.
  • I got no sunburn (!) and brought along many souvenirs.
And here the Flops:
  • All day long there was a heavy stiff breeze and every time I dressed up too little.
  • That's why I properly catched a chill during the harbortour. It's a miracle that I didn't fall ill seriously
  • I felt betrayed by the aquarium. They didn't give student allowance like the navy museum and for the relative expensive admission price, we got too little to view. It was actually boring.
  • Three times we had been at the sandy beach "Geniusstrand". However because of the enormous wind, it wasn't possible to enjoy it longer than about half an hour.
  • We did'nt see neither a bascule bridge, nor the "Kaiser Wilhelm swing-bridge" active. What a pity!
Hopefully I've forgotten no point...

Conclusion:
More tops than flops and it was gorgeous! I'll repeat the trip definately and I advice you to visit Wilhelmshaven necessarily, but rather in the summertime!! =)
