We've already had beautiful holidays at the Baltic Sea. While Ronny has been there as a child nearly every year Ines visited Usedom Island in 1990 for the first time (our first vacation together). 2001 the sea attracted us again, this time we went to the Ruegen Island. We've spent some lovely days in Binz. Even if the weather still wasn't inviting to go for a dip we weren't bored because there is a lot to visit at Ruegen Island.

 

Just look at some pictures for yourself...
