Schwerin Castle

Sometimes I take photos with just my camera phone and sometimes I bring the big one. 
The big one is my Nikon which is a little cumbersome so doesn't always get to come out. Here are some photos with "the big one".

The scaffolding kind of ruins the pictures.

Schwerin Castle, Germany

We decided on an all day excursion from Princess to Schwerin Castle which looks like a fairy tale castle.
We were supposed to dock in Warnemunde but was changed to Rostock. From Rostock to Schwerin is about 90 minutes and luck would have it another nice day. Part sunny and part cloudy with wind I took a rain jacket and beanie hat. 
Once we got there we took a 20 minute boat ride around the lake to get some different views of the castle and these were my best photos of the castle. Once we got off we took a little train looking car around the small town to see the neighborhoods and streets which also took around 20 minutes. Then back to the castle for a walk around the gardens and in for a guided tour of the castle. 

The photo of the footbridge has folkloric tale that you are supposed to walk across it holding your true loves hand for a life of happiness. Of course we had to do it even though the group kept going and we were a little left behind. Hey, when you travel halfway across the world for once in a lifetime experiences you will do it. Even if it means getting left behind.
