Show you what you can enjoy on the island of whos a donkey in sama. Off to vandeman. Fresh air a short trip somewhere like to the baltic coast its something ive been missing these past months just like many of us the coronavirus been there make has disrupted travel worldwide my 1st trip after the easing of frustrations germany took me to vitamin d. In the state of mecklenburg. Mr palmer a new. Here from the white house you can get a good view of the baltic resort. Traveling in coronavirus times how does that look like with all the social distancing and hygiene rules its summer in germany so its high season and that means it can get really crowded on the beach in restaurants in hotels and i would like to know how those people in charge and the tourists are dealing with this situation here in volume and. Holidaymakers are back here involved in the end of the baltic coast and of course im curious to find out more about whats brought them here. Where youre from cologne what brought you here and it was like baltic sea coast is the nicest coast we know weve been coming here for years. Or do you still get that holiday feeling despite the coronavirus pandemic. Salut legal restrictions like putting on a mask in stores arent a big deal apart from that there arent many restrictions we go biking swimming in jogging so for us it absolutely feels like a holiday just to a place takes good to get out again after the long lockdown. As long do you notice a few restrictions. But by and large when youre outdoors you dont need to sit at all. Next month and. Comply with social distancing and hygiene route to get over yeah yeah but not between the 2 of us. Give me a kiss. I was raised to have a lovely holiday. Time to pay a visit to the beach and all rented beach share. It will protect you from the wind and help with social distancing the yellow eyed. To rent a beach chair when a fellow unwelcome no problem but what do i need to do the boss and nothing we send 2 people along who will make sure the beach chairs disinfected and all you need to do is sit down relax and have a nice time. Or. Is this your best beach chair not best i dont know about that id say its a very good beach chair many are newer but this is the one thats rewrite no thats how it works. Sue it has to be disinfected 1st. Yes we have to unless the chair only goes out once a day then it has 24 hours to air out. But if it goes out several times a day but this is what we do get with us from behind so if it hasnt aired out mathias takes care of it that was much yeah then dr mathias gets it nice and clean thank amazing ideas. Beach chairs like this has been a fixture by the baltic and the north sea since the 19th century very specially popular in germany. Now all thats missing is a quick dip in the water. And i have to admit diving into this chilly water it is just 17 degrees celsius is a bit daunting at 1st but once youre in and swimming its wonderful. Its clear that the tourists are back despite the coronavirus but how are the people who live here ferrand. Im off to meet man woman who works here as a lifeguard. But what do you need to be a lifeguard. This is what you have to be Athletic Team player know how to swim and like the beach. Thats it. Thats like i should not have to spend what did to coronavirus me for you as a lifeguard in that yard at the start of the season we introduced various Safety Measures and restrictions. We have protective equipment for the lifeguards for the swimmers who need 1st date we have mass and so forth the body gets to be called when we hand over the bandits rather than sticking them on ourselves yes i guess but overall we havent had all that many covert cases in this part of germany in which there was no fire and there arent all that many restrictions. On it you can see that at the beach when they come through this its almost like watching a tunnel he must have thought about an emergency if you have to do mouth to mouth resuscitation mr were lucky because we have manual resuscitator so were trained to use these handheld masts with self inflating bags which require no direct physical contact. Titles so what do you like about the baltic as it is and ill see. The view the waves but its always different in every kind of weather you never tire of it. The sun is really nice this year so dont forget your sunscreen i. Q. But theres also a big clear this year so the view is really nice and if i had had to go. All right thank your mom wouldnt.

Into knots and this International Element is missing theres thats a shame because it adds to the flair. And the crew ships are important to our economy. Our investment in what are your hopes for vandeman in the coming months. As a religion on 1st we hope that well get through the summer well with the preparations weve taken and that our vacationers enjoy themselves against or with who and that the locals can see us practicing safe tourism so that we can come through the situation stronger than ever. And of course we hope that we wont have to shut down our Hotels Restaurants and businesses for 2 and a half months again if hes a muslim or because that would be a shame and a disaster you would hope so you were a holiday destination and we want to be able to provide that for i guess its. Value and all the best and you know. Everythings pretty relaxed here in belgium and the tourists are happy they can travel again and enjoy the baltic and so all the people who make their living from tourism.

Im treating myself to a truly special experience ill discover the area on horseback and knows you know there are many riding stables chosen this one and. A group of locals have planned a tour and theyve invited me to join. This is adriano my best buddy for today or at least i hope so before hitting the road we need to curry the horses. Saddled them. And put their boots and. Almost ready but safety 1st. Oh its been a long time 123 like. Made it lets do this. First we need to cross town ive been in the saddle a couple of times already so i was able to join the tour right away but if youve never sat on a horse youll have to do a couple of practice rounds at the stables or let someone else take the reins. In any case this is a great way to discover nature. It really is true here in the back country there arent nearly as many tourists and as there were at the beach and then the resorts nature and beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see. But before i get too romantic we decided to speed it up a little at. Rob is that as far as ill go the 1st time around to the. Colleagues at gallup to the pros but i do have to say this area is the perfect spot to go horseback riding and we could even take a quick dip with the animals. In.

And 991 the Family Restaurant called the was that its had to open its doors but here the fish in the sausage and smoked thats typical for it was a dump and master smoker is definitely just going to show me how its done. And he will how do you prepare the fish for smoking does it have to be salted or otherwise is there 1st we cut it to soldier and then hang it to dry its just like we have here in portland. How long do you leave it hanging its working on you for at least 3 quarters of an hour just to draw it when smoking fish less. Smoking takes time. For them because. They which types of fish are particularly good when smoked. Year we have some in here and below. Well thats how it gets to here. Once the fish is dry the oven is closed for about an hour. Or. In case you were wondering why they call it smoke. Trying to get a taste and im going to try them all 11 salmon and talib and. I wonder if these are the ones i smell but at this point heres the most important thing is theyre all delicious. But filling life at the beach and tranquility in the back country good food and plenty to do it on offer is all the ingredients you need for a perfect Summer Holiday i for one had a great time i hope you get to see you next time somewhere and germany.
