O'Dawn and we have a wake up at 5:30am so we check out and have a driver waiting to take us to Ataturk Airport; at 6am there is no traffic, the water is almost calm on the Bosphorus and the sun is bright and there isn't a second when Istanbul isn't buildings and ancient walls and all sizes of cargo ships and fishing boats anchored in the straight as we drive to the airport. No problems checking in and the flight is ok except for 2 children who never stop crying . . . !





Through Frankfurt airport and onto the train to Fulda without any difficulty. One hour later, Martin and Claudia meet us at the station and we drive to their beautiful home "in the country" as we'd call it. It isn't too long before we're on bikes and we take a tour of the town which was built in the 600's for a monastery. Once again we are told we've brought nice weather with us.

Martin and Claudia make a nice dinner and we talk about Greece, the EU, the US Open Golf but most importantly and Europe Cup 2012 which has Germany facing Denmark at 9pm. Germany wins and we go to bed.
