Sea U Site 2006

Over the last many years I have attended the Sea U Site festival.. in the past few years we have had continuous attention from the local authorities in the form of police (normal and riot) as well as dogs and helicopters.
This year was different once again... Thankfully closer than the last year's it was almost smack in the middle of what the Germans like to call The Bathtub of Berlin, Kuehlungsborn. Funnily enough the first 2-3 Sea U Site parties I remember were also held nearby.
We left Holland on Friday afternoon and as per usual drove for about 5 hours just to cross the border (What is wrong with this country) which should only be 200 klm across.
After that is was more or less smooth sailing to Berlin where we bunked down at Andreas's for the night.
Saturday was a lazy start and then we left Berlin for the north, 200 km north to Kuehlungsborn where we drove around lost for just a little while. We found the Bremer folks pretty quickly and set about setting up camp.
The weather was not the best and I am continuously thankful that I have a all season tent that always manages to keep me dry. Sat night was held inside one of the empty buildings with a bit of music and other catch ups. But I was really happy to go to bed fairly early and wait for morning.... which came with lots and lots of rain... in fact it rained so hard most of the morning we just stayed in our tents and waited for it to end.
Finally it stopped we headed out to see what was happening in the world of the Sea U Site 2006. It had far more building than the previous years if you don't count the gigantic building complex near Pora on the Island Rugen.
The usual gang from Bremen and Berlin and Hamburg were there, and it took some time to get into the mood but we eventually as the clouds and rain moved on.
It all seemed to move quickly but the day moved nice and slow.
danced a little, explored a little and watched a great sunset.. all in time to hang out a bit longer that evening and then head to bed just as the sun was about to make another appearance.
Monday was beautiful and I took my chances to jump in the water and swim in the Baltic sea, something that I try and do at least once a year.
The drive home was not that exciting and after stopping for some food and rest in Bremen was headed across the boarder to Holland.
The best part was, there was no police this year to bother us, kind of an anti climax though.
