      Regendag...

      18 agosto 2019, Germania ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Afgelopen nacht heeft het af en toe geregend en als we opstaan regent het nog steeds, er is niet veel wind.

      Klokslag 08.50 vaart de eerste boot de haven uit de andere 5 volgen, we varen vandaag de laatste kilometers over het Mittellandkanaal naar jachthaven Recken ongeveer 50 kilometer, dat was tenminste de bedoeling maar Monique heeft met de haven gebeld en er blijkt geen plaats voor ons te zijn...
      Haar voorstel is om door te varen tot 4 kilometer voor het Dortmund-Eemskanaal daar bakboord uit het riviertje Alten Fahrt Hörstel op te varen waar, volgens haar boekje, prima aanleg plaatsen zijn maar zonder voorzieningen.

      Het blijft vandaag regenen, we hebben opnieuw veel tegenvaart maar varen geen vrachtschepen achterop, op zich is het prima varen maar zonder de zon wel wat saai.
      Tegen 2 uur arriveren we bij de bewuste aanlegplaats en inderdaad, we hebben ruim voldoende plaats én. .. het is opgehouden met regenen...als we hebben aangelegd maken we een praatje met elkaar en gaan dan genieten van de rust in de zeer rustige omgeving, af en toe valt er nog een buitje.

      Om half 6 komt Willy vragen of we op palaver komen, hij heeft een tafel op de wal gezet en Vivianne heeft wat hapjes gemaakt, omdat er af en toe nog wat motregen valt blijven we allemaal staan, iedereen is zeer content met de onverwacht mooie ligplaats en het is eigenlijk heel gezellig, als later de zon zich nog even laat zien zijn we de vele regen van vandaag snel vergeten.

      Longfield Farm CL - Parkplatz (Lotte)

      31 maggio, Germania ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      We were so early for the 8am ferry they put us straight on the earlier one 👌 - a huge bonus gaining time for the drive to our first foreign stopover. Just a small, plain but quiet car park off the main road at Lotte. Decent drive today (321m) - longer tomorrow to Hirtshals (459). Dare I say the van is going well.......🤞 Bought some fresh veg in Aldi in town and cooked a pretty good frittata for supperLeggi altro

      Day 6 - Amsterdam to Germany 🇩🇪

      7 giugno, Germania ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

      Everyone had a well rested night last night, once we all rose we packed our bags and headed off across town to do a Canal tour. This was a great way to see alot of the city in a small space of time. Some interesting house prices, $4000 nzd per month to rent a 40 square Metre room! Also to buy a car park it is $14 nzd per hour 😳
      I am not sure what to make of Amsterdam 🙈 you have to be very aware of your surroundings at all times otherwise you are likely to get run over by a bike or a tram 🤣 very bustling city!

      We had a yummy lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe 😋
      It was then time to head back, collect our bags and head on the 2 hour train ride to Germany.

      We drove a short 15 mins to Helen's house 🏠
      What a stunning area she grew up in, it is very beautiful 😍
      We spent a few hours on the deck area with a drink and a delicious BBQ dinner. Not a breath of wind and around 17 degrees, the perfect setting 👌
      It is a lovely experience that we are here as Helen's parents also visited us in NZ.

      I am very surprised how day light it is a 10pm 😲      Leggi altro

      Guy's Birthday 🎂

      10 giugno, Germania ⋅ 🌬 10 °C

      They say laughter is the best medicine and we've had our fair share today 🤣

      A rainy day today and Monday started with a trip to the doctors to get Guy checked out. Good news is no pneumonia but a crackley chest so I managed to get some steroids for him, she said they do not give them out lightly and I said I only needed 3 tablets and she gave me 20 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😅

      Guy woke this morning to come down stairs to some very cute decorations Helen and her family had set up 🥰 We celebrated with some chocolate cake and candles 😋 also playing lots of games throughout the day, many laughs had.

      After doing some packing we set off for a visit to Bentheim Castle 🏰 this was a very cool experience.
      The castle dates back to 1050 and features one of the earliest depictions of Christ back in year 1000 (pictured).
      We visited many parts of the castle with dungeons 30 metres deep that we threw a coin into, saw natural water wells up to 23 meters deep. Prison cells and many more. When we arrived it was teaming with rain but by the time we left the sun shone for some good photos 🥰

      After our visit to the castle when went for dinner on the lake. Such a beautiful setting. We were lucky to get menus in English this helped alot 🤣
      Dinner was absolutely delicious I had beef tenderloin done in a mushroom sauce with homemade hash browns and Creme Brule for dessert 😋 Guy was surprised with a special birthday dessert 🍰

      Helen's dad had brought along his remote control boat to use in the lake after dinner. All was going well until Guy got it stuck on the rope about 5 metres from the edge 🤦‍♀️ we didn't know how to get it back without someone going for a swim! And to make it worse the restaurant had big glass windows so we had a huge audience watching our scene 🤣🙈
      We found a very long branch but poor Raimund ended up having to walk into the lake at least 3 metres to get the branch to reach, he ended up very wet! The laughs we had knowing that the whole restaurant was watching 😅

      Over the past 2 days I have had two locals ask why we would want to holiday in this area lol. I guess it's a bit like us asking why do you visit stratford 😅 But Salzbergen and surrounding areas have not disappointed. I am in love with the gorgeous towns we have visited and the activities we have done, I feel very lucky to have been thrown into the local culture in this beautiful area. Germany 🇩🇪 part one has not disappointed!

      Our time with the Helen and her family has come to an end as we have to say goodbye in the morning, but Helen, Malte, Petra and Raimund have made us so welcome in their home and gone above and beyond to make sure we have a wonderful time and are looked after 🥰 we cannot thank them enough 😘      Leggi altro

      Day 7 - Salzbergen & Munster

      8 giugno, Germania ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Oops I am 12 hours late for this! We were watching a movie and I fell asleep 🙈🤣

      Day 7 another amazing day.
      Danny and I woke very early so we went for a lovely run through Helen's local town, it is just the prettiest here!

      After a wonderful breakfast Helen's family had organised us to visit a local dairy farm! It was a great experience to see another farm outside of nz, they milk 130 cows that calve all year round, they are milked through 2 DE Laval robots. They do not use Semex lol apparently used to but did not like them 🤣 they have 200 acres but the cows never ever go outside in their lifetime.
      Over here as you drive along there are many paddocks but no fences to be seen, all land is used for cropping.

      Helen's dad has a few special toys in his basement ans brought out a remote control boat for Guy to have some fun with, we went on a short 1 min walk to the nearby pond and had dun zooming it around!

      About 2pm we departed with Helen and Malte for Münster a city 50 mins away. This is where Helen has her flat and does her studies, we had a quick visit to see her flat and then went into the city. We parked in a parking area that goes 10 parking floors DOWN under the ground 🙈

      Here we met up with Johanna and Chris who spent Christmas with us!
      This was so special to be spending the afternoon with these 4 lovely humans ❤️

      Munster is a beautiful city, it was destroyed in the 2nd world War but rebuilt with much beauty I love it!

      We headed to a lake where we got peddle boats and we went boys in 1 girls in the other this was heaps of fun but also tiring lol
      After we sat in a bear garden for a drink before heading to a burger restaurant for a yummy dinner and cocktails.

      We had the best day!      Leggi altro

      Day 7 - Altenberge/Rattschänke Bornemann

      11 ottobre 2019, Germania ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Today we didn’t do anything but hang out until the gig. It was around five or so we left and got to where we were playing (an old beer hall). It was raining a bit. Outside we met Fabian, the local pianist who was hosting us. We got set up and inside there was a super beautiful old stage to the right, and right in front was the new bandstand. We sound checked and Fabian played. Great player.

      We ordered food. I got something called Zigneurschnitzel I believe it was called, or schnitzel with gypsy sauce. It’s a paprika based sauce with tomatoes and onions I believe. It is super reminiscent of sweet and sour sauce. It came with a small salad and French fries with mayonnaise. I’m not a huge fan of the salads here. They use a mayonnaise kind of dressing and it’s not great.

      This was another case of not much to drink. Beer and various beer cocktails, wine, two sodas (Coke and Coke Zero; they’re not a huge diet fan here), and various waters differing in carbonation level. They also had 7-up but that’s for the radlers.

      The gig itself was really fun. There were a lot of people. We played the whole night with Fabian on piano which was awesome. We even had Christian play a couple songs on piano. He was one of the guys who spent time with us at the chicken place in Münster.

      The sets were super short, two 45s. So the night was over early. We packed up and went back to Thomas’s. There we are Toffiffee and some kind of chocolate candy with Rice Krispies. I then went to sleep instantly.

      Oh, for some reason my phone didn’t save my picture of the food. So I included a stock photo.      Leggi altro

      Day 8 - Sunday Funday

      9 giugno, Germania ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      We Zipped into Sunday with a visit to the tree top climbing experience near Helen's town.
      Malte and Helen took us to this forest at about 10am. We all got fitted into harnesses and gloves and away we went. We had to do some training before we were allowed on the actual course. We went on a series of different courses. Some had single wires we had to cross, some had steps, some we had to crawl through things and there were many ziplines. As we got more daring the higher up in the trees we were! 🙈We had so much fun here we did not get back home until 2pm! I think the kids could've stayed all day!!

      Safe to say we were all pretty knackered after that big morning it was time for a wee rest.

      Malte was playing hockey at 5pm so we popped to the town next door about 10 mins away to watch. Malte's team have not lost a game yet this season and they came out with a good result today 3-1 👏
      I found it interesting that there were not barriers between the turf and the public watching! 😬

      By the time we did those two activities the day just slipped away and it was already dinner time. We ordered some yummy takeaways 😋

      Guy managed to find a spare moment to go and fly Helen's dad's very cool drone in the field next door, lucky boy! (He is still not very well 🤒)      Leggi altro
