Osterode am Harz, 18.08.2011. Von Soltau aus sind wir quer durch den Harz bis nach Osterode gefahren. Hier bleiben wir zwei Nächte auf einem Stellplatz vor dem „Wald – Campingplatz“. Wir bezahlen hier 8.- € pro Nacht. Für den Preis können wir die Sanitäreinrichtungen vom Camping mitbenutzen. Auch ist Strom vorhanden. Im Biergarten des Platzes genehmigten wir uns erst mal zwei Weissbier ☺ . Den Abend liessen wir dann bei einem feinen Nachtessen und einem (vielleicht waren es auch drei) Glas Wein ausklingen. Der Ortskern von Osterode liegt etwa 2 Kilometer vom Campingplatz entfernt. Für uns keine Distanz. Am nächsten Morgen machten wir uns auf die Socken und besichtigten die schöne Altstadt. Beim Mittagessen auf der Terrasse des Ratskellers kamen wir mit einem ortsansässigen Pärchen ins Gespräch. Sie erzählten uns interessantes über Osterode und von ihrem ... read more

Not too much to report today except to say that the bird park that Pam has waited to see for many years was outstanding and she managed to photograph her favourite bird, the Shoebill, Bree and I reckon it is the ugliest bird in the world. We spent all day there leaving around 4.00pm after Pam and Bree spending up large in the shop. Saying our goodbyes to Walter and Maria our Bavarian friends it was off to find a new camp site in Kellenburg some 50k out of Walsrode, a nice enough place without being outstanding it was the cheapest camp site in Europe so far being only 20Euro, recommended by us as a good place.... read more

Hannover From Venice we flew to Amsterdam, changed planes and then had another 40 minute flight to Hannover. Was I excited? Dad said that everybody on the plane knew that I was excited. We were going to stay with our friends who lived near us in Brunswick when they were on a working holiday in Australia. They now live back in Germany and I had not seen Linus and Julika for 7 years. The three of us were great friends then when we were all under 4 years of age. I was excited about seeing them and I was also sort of nervous. Would they remember me, would they still like me and would they understand me? I only know a few words in German, Yes, No, numbers 1 to ten, Please, Thank You. Mum and ... read more
