Having met our Aussie at the Leek festival we gladly took
him up on his offer to visit so last night we stayed on Ian and Dorothea’s
drive way and had a very pleasant meal with them in Dagebull on the Waddensee. In
true Aussie fashion we later enjoyed a few glasses of wine on their patio where
we were joined by their neighbours, Christian and Karen. Flocks of geese flew
overhead as we exchanged stories of travel and adventure.

This morning we shared a yummy German breakfast of fresh
bread, cheese, meats and boiled eggs and Kerriann was delighted to find Vegemite
(Australia’s poor attempt to copy Marmite) on the table. Thanks Ian and
Dorothea, we really appreciate your hospitality.

Today we slowly meandered South through Northern Germany and
have stopped at a stellplatz (free parking place for motorhomes) next to a boat
museum in Wishhafn. As we queued to get on the ferry we heard on Radio 4 that a
ferry in Bangladesh had sunk – Kerriann did not enjoy the trip as we were
heavily loaded and listed a little to the right so she was very happy to reach
the other side.

The weather is a little cooler today but this evening it has
turned rather muggy and uncomfortable. Even Kerriann (an Australian) is finding
the warm/hot nights rather uncomfortable.

We are planning to head towards the witchy Harz mountains
then on to the Mosel Valley for a bit of wine tasting. Hoorah!
