Matt: A lot of my mates in London were surprised when I told them that Ed and I were doing a road trip around Germany over the Easter break. For some reason, the British seem to have a pretty bad opinion of all things German.

You know the amount of fun you are both having depresses me. I strongly recommend that you enact poor prose, laziness and the urge to sleep in the next week so people like myself (i.e. those who are currently still at work and have no prospect of leaving their desk for the next ) no longer feel the urge to run out the office door with abandon and jump on the next cruise ship to anywhere. Alternatively I could continue living vicariously through your travels (note; this idea takes less effort, thus for the moment is more appealing). Raj

Amazing
Hi After reading your colourfull discription of this place I realize we were fools to give it back after 1945. Had a good chuckle at your discription of Ludwig and must comment on Ed's Lederhosen outfit very becoming. Glad you are still in great form with KEYS, WALLET etc Matt. Got your Turkey cards yesterday Nan will be having a talk with you about one of them. Cheers keep them coming N/G

Really Concerned
Between visiting ladies of the night and driving too fast (much too fast) I am beginning to wonder where I went wrong. Never mind I will be over soon to keep an eye on you both. (only joking) When in Rome do as the Romans do isn't that what they say or is it when in Germany do as the germans so oh well you know what I mean. Love Mum from down under xxxx (that sounds rude)
