Where the heck is Warnemunde?

One of the last stops of our Baltic cruise was Warnemunde.  If you're wondering where that is (because I sure was!) it's a small district part of the town of Rostock in northern Germany.  I just Googled the population and it was only 8441.  We almost didn't get off the ship at this stop (just like in Kiel) because we had been to a bunch of German cities before and wanted to enjoy life on board the ship while it was in port.  Many people from the ship got off at this port and then headed by train or bus to Berlin which was several hours away.  We just visited Berlin last Christmas vacation so we didn't feel the need to make the long trip there again so soon.  I'll admit that we spent most of our time in Warnemunde at McDonald's using the free wifi, but we did walk around this cute little town to take a few pics and buy some souvenirs.  Most of the restaurants and shops were lined up along the canal going through the town, and there was even a decent beach there, although we decided not to go since the day was quite overcast and rainy.  Despite the weather, Warnemunde was a delightful place to spend an afternoon!
