From Palanga we went to the Old Town Klaipeda which was nearby where we docked. There was not much to see. haha!! 
In every stop we made sure we tried the local food. So we tried Lithuanian food. This was recommended by the tour guide. In general, i don’t know if we should listen to tour guides when it comes to food! haha!! That comment is based on the places we went to this trip which were recommended by tour guides 🙂 
Lithuanian specialties – potato and pork – so you will see a lot of those in the dishes that we ordered #Lithuania #Klaipeda#Regent25 #regentsevenseasexplorer#h2hssexplorer2017 #h2hbacon#h2hpotato

Sculpture “Juodasis Vaiduoklis” (“The Black Ghost”)
If you have not heard yet about the mystical ghost, which was mentioned in and old manuscript – you will now. If you have not seen the horrendous, grotesque figure yet – you will.
Near the castle remains, just past the swing bridge, there is a bronze sculpture of a ghostly silhouette that looks like it is just stepping out of the water via the shore line. 2.4 metres in height, the sculpture holds its own secret – everyone who comes near the frightful sculpture will be greeted by it.
According to one legend, in 1595, one of Klaip?da Castle guards, Hans von Heidi, saw a ghost. The mystical visitor warned the guard that the city’s supplies of grain and timber may be running out, and with that, it vanished just as it had appeared.( http://www.klaipedainfo.lt/en/sightseeing-places/sculpture-juodasis-vaiduoklis-the-black-ghost/) #Klaipeda #Lithuania#Regent25 #regentsevenseasexplorer#h2hssexplorer2017 #h2hmusic #h2hart
Beautiful 🙂 
Our second stop was Klaipeda in Lithuania. We took the half day tour to see the Amber Museum in Palanga. You will see a lot of this stone in the Baltic cities
Sacred Heart of Jesus in front of the The Palanga Amber Museum.
It was established on August 3, 1963. It is housed on the estate of Count Feliksas Tiskevicius (1865-1932). The estate, designed by German architect Franc Schwechten (1841-1924), was built in 1897. The Palanga Botanical Gardens, designed by the landscape architect Eduard Francois Andre (1840-1911), surround the Estate. The estate palace in neo renaissance style is an inseparable part of the park’s ensemble. A. Brusokas restored the palace in 1957. The Count Tiskevicius family resided in the palace until 1941.
A descendant of the Counts, Alfredas Tiskevicius, now lives in Warshaw, On 22 of May 1997 the Council of Palanga town granted the name of HONORARY CITIZEN of Palanga town to Alfredas Tiskevicius.
The Palanga Amber Museum’s exposition takes up 15 rooms. About 4,500 exhibit pieces are found here. Visitors are acquainted with the formation, processing, practical application, and morphological variations of amber. The museum has a wealth of amber pieces with trapped insects or plants, a collection of unique pieces of amber, and examples of fossilized tree resin brought from all over the world.
The Palanga Amber Museum is a branch of the Lithuanian Art Museum. About 8 million people have come to visit the Palanga Amber Museum.
The Museum is becoming famous for its traditional cultural events. For 30 summers now the terrace has been home to the night serenade concerts. Interesting cultural events and meetings with artists take place in the Fireplace Hall of the Estate.

The Amber Museum was started in 1962 with 40 pcs of amber, now there have over 25,000 pcs. Amber came from trees by the Soviet part of the Baltic Sea and took 50 million years to form. There are amber in Mexico and other places but it’s 25 million years. There are 250 shades of Amber with 7 groups of colors. White is the rarest at 5% and Honey colored the most common which is 70% of the amber. #Klaipeda #Lithuania #amber#palangaambermuseum #Regent25#regentsevenseasexplorer#h2hssexplorer2017
The biggest /heaviest amber is found in this museum. Someone tried to steal it before so now they have to enclose it
Afterwhich we visited the main street where they had restaurants, food carts, entertainment and shops

Our first stop was at Warnemunde, Germany. It’s 3 hours away from Berlin by land. Warnemünde is a German port town on the Baltic Sea, near Rostock. It’s known for its long beachfront and marina, a cruise-ship stop. This port operates for 5 months in the year from May to October and there were 150 ships that docked here and they are expecting 190 this year. #warnemünde #Germany #Regent25#h2hssexplorer2017
We drove a few minutes to Rostock first to see the town and went back near the ship to this town. So you could basically just go straight here upon arrival if you prefer not to tour anymore past the port. Some passengers even drove 3 hours to Munich which meant driving back another 3 hours all in one day to board again the ship
The Alter Strom canal at Warnemunde is lined with shops and fishing boats. The Edvard Munch Haus, former home of the renowned expressionist painter, runs exhibitions and events. ( website) #warnemünde #Germany #Regent25#h2hssexplorer2017 This sort of reminds me of Hoi An 🙂

Love this street where there are homes of fishermen from the olden times. Some of them are now cafes and bed and breakfast or shops at #warnemünde#Germany#Regent25#h2hssexplorer2017
Whenever you disembark from the ship, you have to scan your Identification card so the ship knows and then when you get back it is scanned again to make sure everyone is on board before sailing
Bottled water 🙂 to bring when you go on tour in every destination. Of course, take as much as you can 🙂
I noticed this Filipino staff already washing the ship on its first stop 🙂
Tour buses all ready to take passengers around 🙂
First stop – Rostock
Rostock is a city straddling the Warnow River on the north coast of Germany. It’s known for Rostock University, founded in 1419. Rostock Botanical Garden has an arboretum and alpine gardens. In the old town, the Gothic St. Mary’s Church features a 15th-century astronomical clock. Nearby is the cobblestone Neuer Markt main square and Rathaus (town hall), which mixes Gothic and baroque styles. ( Travel guide) #rostock #Regent25#h2hssexplorer2017
Rostock Townhall which is pink 🙂 and mixed gothic and baroque architectural style #rostock #Regent25#h2hssexplorer2017
The fountain of the joy of life or The porn fountain 🙂 since everyone is nude.
The University of Rostock – Traditio et Innovatio
Tradition and innovation are the trademarks of our almost 600-year history. Education and research started in Rostock even 73 years before Columbus discovered America as the university was founded already in 1419. A lot has changed in the meantime. Such as the technical faculty founded in 1951 – the first one ever established at a classical university. Plenty of new, modern buildings, as the completely new campus for natural sciences in the district Suedstadt, represent the innovative strength and modernity of our university.
Today, with about 14,000 students and 2,933 staff members (in the medical care sector: 2,926), the University of Rostock offers fascinating perspectives into nearly all scientific fields. With the four profile lines Life, Light and Matter / Maritime Systems / Aging Science and Humanities / Knowledge – Culture – Transformation, the University of Rostock has at its disposal excellent interdisciplinary research fields in the areas of natural and technological sciences, medicine, life sciences, humanities and cultural studies. The standard set for all our actions: we want to impress with our performance.
The Hanseatic university city of Rostock is a great place to study, research and live. The economic and scientific centre of the North-East is very enticing, with all the atmosphere of a major city in the middle of one of the most beautiful tourist areas in Germany.

St. Mary’s is Rostock’s largest church and one of the largest brickstone gothic buildings in the whole Baltic region. For more than 770 years, it has been a place of prayer, worship, meetings of civil or academic character, and a place of the arts.i
