IBZ summer outing

It is IBZ family outing.
It is an outing that binds people from similar and different backgrounds.
It was a rare day when SUMMER decided to show up.

It was an interesting tour.
Starting with the Gelbensande (castle of Mecklenburg's princess),
one can visualize and imagine through the stories told by our tour guide (Christina) about the historical background and current status of
Gelbensande.
Many of the building's construction elements throw a light on the close relationship between Mecklenburg's and Russia's dynasties.
Furthermore, the Tsar's Eagle was used as an ornament around the castle.

Followed by a tour around the "Freilichtmuseum" (open museum) and the Amber museum, and
ended by a kids trip at Karl's strawberry farm.
After the trip, we had dinner at Borwin (a good seafood restaurant) with a nice sunset view along the harbour.
