!!!. From Hamburg. It is cold and cloudy today. Have just arrived here, one hour from where we are staying, just to get the internet. Have purchased a van however it will take one week to finalise things and take delivery. It is a nice little van, Betsy. Have brought the bedding and will wait for delivery for the rest. Peter has jujst come back from the toilet, $1.50 for a pee, however the toilets are beautifully clean and we are quite pleased about that. We are really enjoying the Germans, so friendly, warm and helpful. We loved Frankfurt, great shopping and very easy to find our way around. The trains here are amazing, so very efficient and so fast and always on time. Will post pictures as soon as we can get a connection on our own lap top. Love to you all Sue and Peter XXXX
