Here I am at 6:15 am ………….in Germany……………..blogging. Guten Morgen everyone from a very cold (12 degrees Celsius/53 degrees Fahrenheit) Warnemunde as Heidi and her team prepare to disembark 1,200 people on tour to Berlin. The railway station is just a few minutes walk from the ship and waiting there are two private trains to take the guests to the capital.

This is quite an operation as each has to be given a sticker as they leave through the terminal building. This sticker will state which carriage they are on as well as which bus and restaurant they will eat dinner at. Heidi as ever has marshaled this plan brilliantly and I am sure all will be well. All I have to is make an announcement on the open decks to make sure people leave on time. I hate making announcements this early but needs must. Of course, they are not made in the guest cabins so hopefully I will not disturb anyone who maybe sleeping.
