31 of August to 3 of September
Germany

Lubeck
They were waiting for us in the border, as soon as we arrived by ferry from Denmark. Such a joy to see them again! We discovered Lubeck together, walking through the old town, a medieval town.... and after a great lunch we drove to Hamburg to their home.
To say that we were treated like kings is an understatement! A beautiful house, a cosy bedroom and a scrumptious breakfast (it made our famous brekkies in Pyrmont pale in comparison!) .....




We took the train to Hamburg city and jumped into a boat for a ride on  the harbour with its immense cargo ships.








It is a fantastic city. Busy, interesting, vibrant. Dinner at their favourite restaurant (Greek) to finish a fantastic weekend.




We say goodbye to Karina and Rolf...for a few weeks only....we will met them again in Italy!

We continue our travels, as usual we chose towns that people recommend to us and we put "no motorways" in our GPS. This is the way that discover so many cute little towns were times seems to just stop in the 14th or 15th century.
Celle and Erfurt were those kind of places!






We took the time to walk through the towns, we look at their people and their shops..... we always attempt to have casual conversations...... just to have a feel of a place.


While crossing to Czech we reflected in how easy and pleasant has been travelling in Germany.... wondering what we will find next!
