Staying on a local Asparagus Farm
11 juli 2022, Nederland ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Best spot ever for Lennon, who can play out on the grass by the van. We are on a small field reserved for campers, at the edge of an asparagus farm.
They're not in season, so instead we've had some ofMeer informatie
Lennon's first sand
12 juli 2022, Nederland ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
There was a little play area at the farm. Lennon loved chasing spiders in the sand pit 😂
Bizarrely he didn't put any sand in his mouth at all! We expected sandy nappies for days actually 🤣

Germany

Lennon is Lemony
14 juli 2022, Duitsland ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Not quite sure where our happy little smiler has gone... He has become very bitey, hitty, nippy, screamy, grunty and above all else he is constantly pulling evil faces 🤣
He is definitely sour LemonMeer informatie

Second biggest city in Germany, and almost everything was closed. It was a ghost town until around 10am and wasn't busy then either.
Odd at first, but nice really. It's a shame all countries don'tMeer informatie

Our few hours spare to explore Hamburg was taken hostage by screaming Lennon so we spent most our time trying to get him to sleep in the pram. Which he didn't.

Chocolate Factory Tour

A belated birthday celebration we went on a tour of the chocolate factory. It was ok. Not as interesting as Cadbury Land, but nicer chocolate and a funny guide called Em.
Elbphilharmonie Hamburg
17 juli 2022, Duitsland ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Our chocolate factory tour guide very firmly suggested we go to the opera house, so we did. You can go up to the top, and there is a full 360° balcony so you see all of Hamburg from above.
