What a wonderful week we had in Lubeck! We were welcomed warmly by our hosts, off the bus from Berlin. The next day we attended a mayoral reception in the City Hall, greeted by Senator Annette Borns, to whom we presented a small gift from the Lord Mayor of Adelaide. We toasted our visit with German wine and sampled marzipan.
A walking tour of the city followed, culminating in a boat trip around the old town.
The following day we travelled by train to Schwerin - a beautiful city featuring lakes, and a castle on one.
On Thursday evening the Lubeck club hosted us at a club function at which we were able to present our Item and offer an invitation to visit Adelaide, by presenting boomerangs to our hosts - the boomerang must return!
