On my last day in Barth, Sunday, there was city festival called “Barther Herbstzauber”.
There were live performances on the streets:
The historical centre of the town was closed for all traffic, even bikes were not permitted. Lots of people were on the streets, enjoying the sunshine and +25C.
The two musicians on the photo below played nowadays hits on those old instruments, it was really good:
There were a couple of scenes set up in different places, and performances were going on all the time.
It was great to experience Barther Herbstzauber, and I wished I could stay longer. I love travelling in general, and it is very rare that I miss home and want to leave. I only recall it to happen when I had too much of unwanted attention from men, travelling in countries where solo female travellers are seen as a sexual target.
I eventually got back to my OY-9797:
Parachute jumpers were enjoying the nice weather, too:
They would be picked up by an ATV in a trailer:
The wind was a bit gusty and across the runway, so I had planned to leave as late as possible. It was also windy in my home airport of EKHK, and I didn’t want to hurry up.
Barth from air:
I did a round over Zingst where I spent such a wonderful day by the sea. Zingst harbour:
And over the beach:
Heading for home, even at 6,000 feet I could feel the wind gusts sometimes. The clouds on the photo below were approaching quickly, and I didn’t want to be caught up in them crossing over the Baltic sea:
Fying over Denmark, I changed my route a bit, to appreciate the beautiful view of the 30 km long Guldborgsund:
The Aviator and The Blue Bear enjoyed the nice views from their seat:
What a wonderful weekend I had in Barth and Zingst! I love travelling alone! 🙂

Hi Natalie,
Again I enjoyed your report! I am glad to receive your mailings again after a period of absence. Holefully all the trouble with that is in the past.
Keep it woman!!
Lots of love,
Hank Liliēnthal
Thank you, Hank! I’m glad I made it work again and you are reading it 🙂
Love,
Natalie
I believe those two instruments are harmoniums. There was a great harmonium player from Scotland–he’s long passed–but his recordings are still available and his music is still streaming on Spotify. He told crazy stories, sang strange songs, and had a great time doing it.
He even played a tiny part in a Beatles movie. His name is Ivor Cutler, and if you love dark, off-the-cuff stuff like I do, you’ll LOVE his recordings.
Thank you Natalie for sharing your wonderful adventures. I love your spirit, courage, and your incredible sense of adventure. You’re REALLY living life as it should be!! Cheers! Randy
Thank you, Randy. I love hearing your reflections. Just listened to Ivor Cutler “Beautiful cosmos” – what a nice song!
All the best,
Natalie
