"Looks just like the sun..."

Things have generally been going better for me lately.  I still have my ups and (break)downs now and again, but how can I stay down all the time when about 25 friends have done everything in their power to not let me stay that way?  I’ve

Hm. I think I'm in. :)
I did not know the S-H ticket can be used by more than one person...how convenient! Oh, and please do not ask me to suggest some places to see - I have no idea...and I've been living here for 11 years now...

S-H suggestions

Okay, if you have a S-H ticket, you had better head first and foremost to Schleswig to see the Moorleichen in the Wikinger Museum. i seriously have to go there at least once a year. it's amazing. the museum is home to the larget intact Wikinger ship as well. and the Moorleiche-frau still has hair. it's crazy, crazy-cool i mean.

Definitely also head off to the North Sea coast and check out all the little fisherman towns that are so charming. try Husum. Be wild , extravagant, and go to the island of Sylt. Skip Westerland on Sylt coz that's where the wealthy and lame-o hang out to eat their lobster and shrimp.

Ratzeburg is a very nice town as well! but it's further than Lübeck, i don't know how far u are planning on going.

If you want it to just be a short day or half day trip, take the train to Plön (REALLY not for from Kiel). there are lovely small lakes there to walk along and picknick, and it's really nice during the Spring. sometimes they have small festivals at the castle/palace place-turned-Internat.

hope that helps.

Wow! Thank you! We'll be busy for a week at least! And I realise I've never been to Sylt - I wanna go! Thanks again!

I went to Schleswig not too long ago, but didn't get to Haitabu. :( So...I definitely have to go again.

Where would you suggest we go on Sylt?

I'll definitely check out Ratzeburg as well...I don't want to restrict myself to S-H...I figure (depending on money of course) Fridays I'll go within S-H, but Saturdays (or Sundays) I'd go some place in Niedersachsen or Thuringia even? Maybe I'll even take a weekend trip far down South sometime? But by all means Ratzeburg is within my reach.

And I've been meaning to go to Plön for a while as well. Can you bike around the lakes there? I mean...are there paths along the banks?

And thanks for these suggestions!

Yay!

Mit dem Schleswig-Holstein-Ticket können Sie was erleben! Für EUR 21,- fahren bis zu fünf Personen oder Eltern bzw. Großeltern (oder ein Elternteil bzw. ein Großelternteil) mit beliebig vielen eigenen Kindern oder Enkelkindern (bis einschließlich 14 Jahren) einen Tag ohne Kilometerbegrenzung kreuz und quer durch Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Don't worry about the places...Annika already gave us some...and I have a few of my own as well. :)

And when are we going?? I'll only be here this and next week...don't forget ;) You know I like to plan things a little ahead of time.

And why do you say Niedersachsen and Thuringia? (I mean one in German and the other in English.)I thought Lower Saxony is the English term for Niedersachsen...am I wrong?

Re: Yay!

[redscarfboy]

Unfortunately I only have time on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. So when are you free among those days? Pick what you'd like to do most and we'll plan for either this weekend or next (assuming, of course, that you have time.) Do you?

My brain thinks in Denglish these days. I've never referred to Niedersachsen as Lower Saxony despite it being the English name...but Thurngia is no long stretch from Thuringen...but you're right...it's weird. It's like saying Cologne and Muenchen together...

Re: Yay!

[jecono]

Okay, I can go this Friday and next. Hm, I don't know about Nils, can he come, too? Then we might go on a Saturday or Sunday as well.

Is it okay if you do all the planning? I do not have enough time for that...but I'll see what I can do, if you cannot.

Re: Yay!

[redscarfboy]

Of course Nils can come.

I can do the "planning"...but where would you like to go? Let me know and I'll see what I can throw together, ok?
