Day started slowly with a sleep in and also gave Maritta (and Fritz) a chance to catch up
on the blog, that was until our prepaid SIM card ran out of credit (which meant we had to
wait until we have WIFI access hopefully at the airport tomorrow to top it up and update the blog.)

For lunch we went to the Cuxhaven harbour area - fish markets. Although there is still a supply of a large variety of fresh fish and crustaceans from the North Sea a large number of businesses have closed in more recent years. A number of large canneries have been whittled down to just one. A small number have cafe's are attached and we took the opportunity to sample some local fish. Reading the german menu proved a little tricky as we did not want to try the local delicacy - smoked fish!
We finally settled on the fishermans plate which included four different types of fish fillets lightly pan fried with a side serving of either pomme frits (chips) or fried potatoes. Dale savoured his fish as it was the first time for two weeks he had been able to eat fish (and chips). He was starting to suffer a little withdrawal! We all agreed the fish lunch was excellent even Maritta who tends to avoid fish at the best of times.

After lunch, Maritta and Hans Jurgen went off to do the more typical touristy thing of shopping in Duhnen whilst Dale and Fritz caught up on reading, snoozing and relaxing.
