So you find us in Germany, redecorating flats, packing up, moving out, getting lots of injections, buying kit, going out a lot and attempting to do our jobs for the last few weeks before we leave. It's all been a bit hectic! Occasionally in between we have time to plan our Africa trip and read some guidebooks. Getting quite excited about it now. We will both finish work at the end of June, then take a few days to drive our stuff back to the UK and clutter up our parents' lofts! Hopefully a chance to catch up with everyone and then we're off!

Took the train, well almost missed the train thanks to dudes sleeping in and losing wallets. but made it barley, played some sweet card games on the early train and waltzed into munich! Just as great as I remember. I love that city, wish i could spend weeks there. They happened to have a Spring Fest that weekend, so we went back to the good ole Oktoberfest grounds and walked around. ... read more

Hello everyone. Well the name says it all, the time is just flying by. I cant believe its been 6 weeks already. Wow. The past couple of days I didnt just want to sit around wasting while Nele was at school, like come on I only had two weeks left. So on Monday I went for an awsome bike down on the river. It was sooooo beautiful outside, and really hot, 29 degrees. We had a little bit of a heat wave here for about 5 days, 29 degrees all the way through . Man how I love summer..in APRIL ! Then when Tuesday rolled around, it went back to the usually 15, or 16 degrees. Still better than home I am assuming though haha. Tuesday Nele's mom took me to Munster ! Its a ... read more
