Location: The Kiel Canal
Lat: 53° 47.8N Long: 006° 16.36E
Today was pretty quiet. We transited the Kiel Canal. The canal directly connects the Baltic Sea to the North Sea, allowing for a much quicker movement. This was really cool because we got to see Germany. The place looked pretty nice from the ship. What surprised me was the large amount of wind turbines. I guess the Germans place a large premium on renewable energy.
I’m still feeling kind of sick. The runny nose has stopped, unfortunately the cough has not. It’s still pretty scratchy, I’ve been consistent on drinking fluids, so hopefully that will help. I’ve got a good feeling that I’ll be fine by the time I reach Belgium. I’m really excited about that, I’m going to tour the De Koninck Brewery and see a variety of World War I Battlefields. While most of the ship has decided to head for Amsterdam, I am plenty content to stay in Belgium, I figure it will be plenty entertaining in its own right.
We also had an intramural volleyball game. Our team played awfully and got destroyed. We had a lot of fun anyway; we knew we were going to get murdered after they went on a huge run early so we decided to make the best of it. We had fun. I guess there’s not much to say really, just Belgium should be real nice.
