piece past months just like many of us the coronavirus been them it has disrupted travel worldwide and my 1st trip after the easing of restrictions in germany took me to banda minda in the state of mecklenburg with surprise. here from the lighthouse you can get a good view of the baltic resorts. travelling in coronavirus times how does that look like with all the social distancing in hygiene rules it's summer in germany so it's high season and bet means it can get really crowded on the beach in restrooms in hotels and i would like to know how those people in charge and the tourists are dealing with this situation here in volume and. also show you how the pandemic has affected life in south africa our viewer. zuma gives us

a tour of cape town. our view of the week comes from a south american family who traveled around northern europe before the crisis. and the visit world heritage sites in mecklenburg western pomerania from this month to luke. holiday makers are back here involved in the end the baltic coast and in times like these of course i'm curious to find out more about what's brought them here. where you go from here cologne what brought you here like baltic sea coast is the nicest coast we know we've been coming here for years. and you still get that holiday feeling despite the coronavirus pandemic. restrictions like putting on a mask in stores aren't a big deal apart from that there aren't many restrictions we go biking swimming and jogging so for us it absolutely feels like

a holiday. it's good to get out again after the long walk down the long look. as an american you do notice a few restrictions. but by and large when you're at dulles you don't need to sit still and. hunted you comply with social distancing and hygiene releases oh yeah yeah but not between the 2 of us. kids. that's great have a lovely holiday. time to pay a visit to the beach and i'll rent the beach chair it will protect you from the wind and help with social distancing. the yellow i'd like to rent a big share well and welcome again no problem what do i need to do i do both and you know we sent 2 people along the middle make sure the beach chairs disinfected and all you need to do is sit down relax and have a nice time so by being. who. is

this your best beach chair not best i don't know about that i'd say it's a very good beach chair many are newer but this is the one that's where you are right now that's how it works. i so it has to be disinfected 1st. yes we have to unless the chair only goes out once a day then it has 24 hours to air out. but if it goes out several times a day this is what we do get with us and so if it hasn't aired out much he has to take care of it then dr mathias gets it nice and clean thanks of us. beach chairs like this has been a fixture by the baltic and the north sea since the 19th century here especially popular in germany. now all that's missing is a quick dip in the water. while i'm testing the water temperature we will show you

other sites in the state of mecklenburg west the pomerania besides of on the moon for example the old hands the attic cities. and the beach forests on the island of and on the lake routes they all have something in common they are you in this school world heritage sites. of germany's 16 states the more western pomerania has the lowest population density leaving plenty of room for lovely natural landscapes. the more posts to national parks they protect areas of ancient and primeval beach forests recognized by unesco as world natural heritage sites. that includes the woodlands and wetlands of minutes national park founded in 1990 around lake millet's the largest lake located entirely within germany the ancient beech forests give animals a protected habitat. mecklenburg western pomerania as other national park is

located in the northern part of the island of logan. is the smallest national park in germany. located near yasmin's famous chalk cliffs it boasts the largest contiguous beach forest on the baltic sea coast. western pomerania other world heritage sites bear witness to the history of early settlement on the baltic. the a stork centers of stars and in this mars have been on unesco's world cultural heritage list since 2002 both cities belong to the hanseatic league in the late middle ages many of the typical brick buildings constructed since its golden age in the 14th century still stand today. anyone who visit stalls and should stop by the old market square it's dominated by the st nicholas church and the town hall one of the most stunning examples of northern german brick gothic architecture.

the late middle ages also left their mark on the hands he had accepting of bismarck it's large markets where boasts traces of 5 centuries of architectural history from gothic style through to classicism. st mary's church dates from the 13th century but it suffered severe damage in world war 2 and the navy was later demolished so only the tower remains. shipping also has a long tradition in bismarck and is still important today. to the to.

what. i did. was. i have to admit diving into this chilly water it's just 17 degrees celsius is a bit daunting at 1st but once you're in it swimming it's wonderful. it's clear that the tourists are back despite the coronavirus but how are the people who live here fairing. i'm off to meet a man woman who works here as a lifeguard. about what you need to be a lifeguard with the animals this is what it's done you have to be outlet. a team player know how to swim and like the beach. that's it. but what does the coronavirus mean for you as a lifeguard. in that. at the start of the season we introduced various safety

measures and restrictions. we have protective equipment for the lifeguards or the swimmers who need 1st aid we have a mask. is often what we hand over the bandit's rather than sticking them on ourselves. but overall we haven't had all that many covert cases in this part of germany and there aren't all that many restrictions. on it so you can see that at the beach. mine is valid in the emergency if you have to do mouth to mouth resuscitation. not on the good we're lucky because we have manual resuscitator so we're trained to use these handheld masks with self inflating bags which require no direct physical contact. so what do you like about the president and all see now. the view of the waves it's always different in every kind of weather and you never tire of it and. the sun is really nice this year so don't forget your sunscreen.

there's also a big clear this year so the view is really nice here because. i was all right thank you mother. even if the baltic sea is much smaller than the atlantic of the pacific it is still fascinating the water reaches to the rising it is loud and moving at times and then calm and smoove again and this view not only attract tourists but also photographers for example only he just loves the baltic sea coast and its peers so take a look. photography is his passion and profession today franco wants to show you this pm at the baltic sea resort of highly can happen to expand on teach. the the lines are important. what's the most important section. how can i show the object from the best possible

angle if you let this thing in scenes and of course with the pier i also want to see the sea. just me as the as a so i look for the places where i can combine all those elements into one picture and. go does this because these communities have realised that peers are popular on the baltic and the north sea because it lets people get close to the water holes. full of a fantastic talker feel is also a form of documentation. increasing numbers of holiday homes in taurus have left their mark on highly can happen and the coastline itself is constantly changing according to the seasons.

the baltic sea island of fame on also off a scenic image is like the famous sound bridge. and natural windswept coast some landscapes but it's not just the right subject that makes for a compelling photograph. leached the lights all is the be all and end all in landscape photography. you need the light from the right direction and you want vibrant colors and vibrant movement to be.

one of a frying pan method of time is of exploring the baltic always has his camera at the ready to capture the moment. this is. it's not always the blue sky that will draw in your audience it might be the wild mood of the sky the patches of light when the sun peaks through the clouds. that can be much more compelling than a blue sky it's the glow of him and. it's time for some refreshments and vandeman day when the travel restrictions were east restaurants and cafe owners briefed a sigh of relief tourists are their bread and butter after all in the daytime it's not hard to get a table for dinner though you need

a reservation that's true here if a blow bore you to and you have to leave your name and address in case anyone becomes infected it will be needed for contact tracing of course and i'm happy to help out. as you know the coronavirus crisis has stopped tourism worldwide and our meet mike zuma shows us what his hometown cape town looked like after the walked out. on him is like my last name is your mother says my name and neck of the woods in capetown stone as longer one of the oldest black african townships in the western cape it's a beautiful street of lyric tory but the gallery 16 and there are tory behind me generally this area would be filled with guess what people however what the cover of night in situation is currently dry and drab but i'm going to take you to

a little bit of the city at my favorite spot in the city of cape town and show you my neck of the woods. within the city center longstreet's which is pretty much of vibrant part of cape town central business district but what makes it special is that it's the funky but it's where all the clubs of your $18.00 to $30.00 five's come and play and for your urbanites off to work captains generally have grabbed a board here. where the company gardens just on the right hand side where in an average day this would be fulled with tourists and locals alike that take a day break out of the hectic city and buzz in the city and just catch a breath with in this majestic gardens people generally come and feed squirrels in

the garden as you can see pigeons egyptian geese in and around here. when our. on the gateway table martin a real cableway of course this was also been closed even from here it is amazing view of the city it's pretty much a blessed spot in the city center. the waterfront is it's a mall attract the most the best kept secret about it it's still the working dockyard it's one of southern africa's all this working dockyards. so this is we catch the ferry to the island robben island used to be a place where political prisoners are late statesman also mandela spent a couple of years there so it was quite a pivotal point for me growing up as

a young teenagers of 13 and 14 when mandela was freed to post 994 where we kind of caught freedom are i wasn't quite eligible enough to vote i wasn't kind of 18 years old but. the queues of people certainly non whites blacks colored indians and the like for the 1st time having the chance to put an x on the ballot paper so that was quite there was quite a momentous occasion in the history of south africa. even though the party fell off in 1900 voted post 994 you know going to take the income inequality of the cities divide away in 25 years will probably take a generation or 2 to undo that this is where they classified people and whether you're black you're white you're colored you indian so this is the non whites only bridge. and this is why it's only bench i can answer. ok folks we've done wrapping up in the city

center of cape town c.b.d. now we're back to my neck of the woods in. a restaurant where people dinners in the evening. due to the covert $900.00 situation displace is about 99 percent of the patrons that come to this restaurant are international guests hopefully once the scrooge is over we'll have you wining and dining with us here in the restaurant in beautiful cape town and monica the woods and yeah and have fun with us. my next stop involved in the is a tour of the harbor. on board the captain bus we 1st pass along the i just all the stretch of water that

extends from the fishing port of fundamental to the last look harder to find them in the seaside resort is actually district of the city off while stuck. in the all stuck harbor we're greeted by the cruise ship terminal normally it's busy some $200.00 cruise ships docked here every year. the last stop shipyards were cruise ships are built are also usually quiet it's still not clear how and when things will start back up again. an hour later we're on our way back to bottom and . tourism has a long tradition here the 1st hotels for tourists opened in the early 19th century .

as a strong long problem not on this nice summer day it looks like things are back to normal the way they were before the coronavirus trysts. mr home yes the tourism director you're probably happy to see how. packet is here. absolute a report on slides from one we're very happy to be there since the 25th of may we've been able to welcome visitors again from across germany. and there's nothing nicer especially compared to the weeks before that. was before now we can go back to doing what we're best at providing hospitality. to provide strength because it isn't too early to say how things are shaping up we find it's on it's of who gets the summer holidays and demand is high enough baltic sea holidays are in at the moment and or and this year people might be giving majorca passes and staying closer to home. so none for life to go to a circus or fill a guest and there are lots of tourists but the cruise ships aren't here do you

notice they're missing doesn't look at this. because what appeared as a yes were missing the cruise ships would not normally we have close to $200.00 docking here which bring an international crowd to rostock in volume into. this international element is missing. that's a shame because it adds to the flare. and the cruise ships are important to our economy because in the courts want to be free of which i can see then did the crisis also have a positive side did you maybe learn something. as a clam. every crisis is also an opportunity when you're in rostock environment it draws closer together so that. the service providers politicians ministration we meet the best of the situation. like help us and. we've come up with ideas like a beach chair concert to maintain social distancing yes. what are your hopes for a hostile vandeman did the coming months. as we were. here.

first we hope that we'll get through the summer well with the preparations we've taken and that our vacationers enjoy themselves all over with who doesn't fall from the irish. and that the locals can see us practicing safe tourism so that we can come through the situation stronger than ever. and for all. we don't always call. and of course we hope that we won't have to shut down our hotels restaurants and businesses for 2 and a half months again to go shift to reason with some better berkeley's that would be a shame in a disaster. where a holiday destination and we want to be able to provide that for our guests. thank you and all the best but you know. as you know we regularly show you holiday videos from our viewers and this time now we're getting from argentina sent us a clip of his most recent trip to europe from iceland to scandinavia and he says

everybody should see that well i think so too and even though global traveling is still very restricted we're all free to daydream already. so please. please please. please. please. please. please. please. please. please. please please.

please. please. please. please. please. everything's pretty relaxed here evolved into the tourists

are happy and they can travel again and enjoy the baltic and so are the people who make their living from tourism. led. that's apparent the next morning to look at the dock in a hotel made of shipping containers that's one of the wart for its design concept they've adapted to the new hygiene rules. instead of self-service if you check of what you want on the list. and your breakfast is brought to the table. for many german tourists in trip to the baltic sea so within their own country like

here involving linden is a 1st step towards a new travel normality the consequences of a coronavirus crisis are visible everywhere on the beach in restaurants and hotels but the spite the restrictions i was able to enjoy my trip and the best thing is that travelling is possible again on that note bye bye and see you next time.
