Family in Hasbergen
November 6, 2007 - Hasbergen, Germany
From Bielefeld we travelled a short distance to stay with my other cousin Marianne and her husband Horst. It is always a good time with these guys – Ross speaks very little German and Horst speaks very little English, but over ‘ein Bier’ or two they spend a lot of time solving the world’s problems. Marianne and I, in the way of all...

Family ties
November 4, 2007 - Bielefeld, Germany
From our blog entries, you can see that we have had some very special days, trips and seen wonderful things.

Day 2 of beer
September 26, 2007 - Munich, Germany
We headed into town today to check out the original Hofbrauhaus beer hall, since it was yet another wet soggy freezing cold day. We jumped on the train (of which the guys selling tickets just told us not to worry and jump on…..I love free transport) and had a bit of a wander round before heading to the pub. We had lunch there, where we had the...
