🇩🇪 Kiel 2-Day Itinerary: Day 1 – Sun, Sea & Pho! 🌊☀️

We kicked off our adventure in the port city of Kiel—after a marathon €49-ticket train ride from Bavaria! ⛴️ Laboe Beach Escape Ferry from Kiel HBF: Right opposite the main station (no luggage? Go straight!). Beware: Schedules are irregular (1-2 hour gaps)—we baked in the sun for an hour after missing the 1:08 PM boat! 😅 Beach options: Paid section (€3): Clean, shallow (water only reaches thighs!), with clam shells underfoot. Free section: 15-min walk further, but smells of rotting seaweed (skip if sensitive!). Pro tips: Avoid front-row seats—people block the view! Return ferries stop at multiple docks (pick one near your hotel). 🍜 Dinner Rescue: Mr. Linh 13 Post-beach, we warmed up with Vietnamese pho (€13-15): Verdict: Stir-fried noodles > salty soup version, but huge portions! Owner’s chatter = bonus entertainment. #Kiel #BalticSea #GermanyTravel
