every night at 7pm a stena ferry leaves kiel to arrive in göteborg at 9am the next morning.
at the same time a second ferry makes its way from göteborg to kiel.
the ferries spend the day in one of the two cities.
for me the huge boat has always been part of kiel's cityscape.
every night at around 8pm the ferry passes by the town where my parents live
and I always love seeing it leave the bay.
so this summer we decided we should be on it.
we waved goodbye to my mother standing below us on the quay,
waved to my dad sitting by the water an hour later,
and enjoyed the wind and the sunset on board
before falling asleep at 10 pm to the rhythm of the motor.
beautiful!
ReplyDeletei can almost feel the wind:)
wie schön, ich liebe schifffahrten - und als "binnenländerin" habe ich viel zu selten die gelegenheit.
ReplyDeletelovely!
ReplyDeletei found your blog today and i'm loving it... i think i'm your newest follower :)
i do love your photos and your words about the trip. particularly about your dad sitting by the shore and seeing you go past.
ReplyDeleteto me, ships are fascinating and frightening at the same time.
did you stay the day in göteborg? how was it?
