Not quite lost yet!

Have you forgotten about us?  We hope not!  Well, we've been out of contact / internet for a few days now and it seems like ages since this was updated.

So - 4 consecutive days camped on river banks, two rivers can be named, the other two a bit more tricky - stayed on the Rhine at Dusseldorf and the Elbe at Aken.  We also stayed, for free, on a smaller river somewhere in Belgium, and on whatever river passes through Hamelyn (of the pied piped and rats fame).  Have enjoyed some Greek food and some San Fransisco style Mexican today!  All good.

Ich bin ein Berliner (not a donut!), in a real bed, for a few days with the brother-in-law and current chosen life partner.  Had a great day sightseeing by tram and bus today and have seen most of the city, back tomorrow for the missed bits, but we've been to (not in the right order) up the Reichstag Dome, the Cathedral, the Holocaust memorial, Checkpoint Charlie, Brandenburg Tor, Unter den Linden, Topographie of Terrors etc...  A couple more key sights to get in tomorrow, and painfully rubbish internet tonight, so in a bit of a rush.  May get Fran to update if we can do this in a more sensible fashion.

  2. I like the funky orange animal - what is it meant to be? Sounds delightful with all the rivers :-)

  3. No, we haven't forgotten you yet!

    Lara loved all the pics of the van - and everything else (her constant refrain at the moment is "wossdat?", with increasing and determined insistence if not given a prompt response).

  4. I'm suprised that you rat-lovers wanted to visit the murine-unfriendly town of Hamelyn. The rats on your sofa are quivering at the thought of it....

    Sounds like you need to find a better McDonalds for the wi-fi! And no we haven't forgotten you...but thought you might have forgotten us :-(
