Day trip to Germany, because we can

December 19, 2004

Honey, let’s go to Germany today. This is coming from a girl that has lived on an island at the bottom of the antipodes all her life. I am still laughing at the sound of that sentence. Fire up the satnav and let’s go for a drive today.

We did go and had a lovely time and were reminded yet again, how inadequate our NZ winter wardrobe is. We went to this lovely Christmas market in a small town on the german border, it was at the foot of this huge 18C cathedral. It wasn’t snowing, but just extremely and bitterly cold. The only thing we bought were some mittens for me, fur lined suede ones. Beautiful and warm.

It was an easy drive, only 2 hours away so about the same distance to the beachhouse. We put the boys in the buggy after a feed at McDonalds and they slept while we had a walk around the town centre.

Back home again by dinner-time. Very amusing.
