Kiel Travel Blog › entry 2 of 4 › view trip summary

The german navy invited me to visit the naval base in Kiel,Germany.I got some nice impressions and took some nice shots there.It wasn't too bad which is very important because i will maybe work there for 9 months next year since in germany the compulsory military service still exists).Weather was sunny and rainy but altogehter just awesome!

Train ride to Kiel via Hamburg, walk along the seaside

Tirpitzmole with some minesweepers

I left the house at about 7:15am and went with the tram to the main station in Mannheim.In the ICE i sat next to parents with their babies which was very annoying for me because i was very tired and i just wanted to sleep...

Well luckily this family left at Frankfurt so i was alone with a women and her daugther qnd i finally slept almost till Hamburg.There i left the ICE and entered an old RE to Kiel.During this 1h30 journey to Kiel i had a little lunch and finally i arrived at Kiel main station at  around 3:00pm.

I meet some people who went to the naval base too so we went by bus together.Finally we reached our aim at 4:25pm.Now it was time for a little 'check-in' and meeting my room-mates for the upcoming 2 days.

At about 6:00pm we meet for a little dinner.Everything was pretty strict...like in the army...

After that i went for a walk along the seaside with 4 bavarian people....i'll NEVER do it again because i hardly understood a word they said!!!

I took some nice photos and enjoyed the wonderful evening at the sea.when we returned to the base lights were switched off at 10:30pm and after came the funniest part of the day. We talked about our three guides and gave them the nicknames 'Tarni', 'Dreistreifenmännchen' and 'Die Maat'.

Altogether it was a nice first evening and i was sure that this trip will be a wonderful experience.
