Kiel — Day 18

We spent most of Wednesday on trains traveling from Dresden to Kiel. Thursday's outing was one of Alexis's favorite local hikes, through the Schleswig-Holstein countryside, only a 15 minute train ride from the city. The days are especially long now, dawn before 5 AM and dusk after 10 PM. And summer weather has settled in, warm, a bit breezy, not humid, and clear-blue skies. Allergies were a bit troubling for the hike (and the allergy medicine made me drowsy). The scenery was lovely in a much more subtle manner than we've experienced on this trip. Most striking was the sprinkling of wildflowers.
