Staying at a curious place called MaxBed in Flensburg, that's just south of the border with Denmark. None of the rooms have en suite bathrooms but there are several toilets and shower rooms of a high standard both of finish and of cleanliness. Unusually for a place like this it actually has a reception desk, only manned in office hours though and no English spoken.

The downside is that it's 3.4 km from here to the harbour where the museums and cafes are.

In the harbour there are various excursion boats. The whole place was rather quiet so I presume that most of the commercial activity happens at the seaward end

And of course there are gulls. But not many and they were quiet and well behaved not at all like gulls in Cornwall that carry off chips, pasties and the occasional camera.

On the far side of the harbour were pleasure craft

Also on that side but further toward the sea is an industrial part of the harbour

Looking back toward the direction I came from I saw another reminder of the closeness of Denmark, a cargo bike
