What happens when the transformer on a Viking ship goes out, head to Home Depot!

August 18, 2016 – Kiel

Janis and I walked through the old town before the shops opened, so we had the streets to ourselves.  That was fun.  Came back later in the day and had to work our way through crowds, mostly natives.  Spent most of our time trying to replace our malfunctioning Chinese transformer and ended up at the Bauhaus, which is just a rebranded Home Depot – orange signs and everything – felt right at home.  But it was a lost cause.  Obviously, the Germans don’t need or use 240 volt to 110 volt devices.  Have been enjoying the evening performances on board the ship, and have been eating way to much ice cream and other good stuff!  Had planned to visit a U-boat memorial, but ran out of time.  Had a Doener Kabab for lunch!!!
