Helgoland - the Sunny Island

Helgoland is ranked as one of the sunniest places in Germany. The mild climate, thanks to the Gulf Stream, makes for mild summers and winters here. Even some exotic plants can spend the winter outside here without any worries.

At lunch time today I met a very talkative couple from Lübeck (this is a very German destination - a perfect place to practice my German language skills!). They told me that they had just spent one sunny week here and that today was the first rainy day! They wished me better luck with the weather for a future visit. During their week here they had seen lots of birds and taken long walks around the island.

So much to see and so little time here at Helgoland! We are now planning to set sail tomorrow at 10 AM. Our next destination is Brunsbüttel in Germany.
