And so we move on…to Copenhagen

I can’t believe we’ve left Germany already – it seems like we just arrived. I was just getting a handle on the most basic of German phrases and I had reached 140km per hour on the autobahn without breaking into a sweat. But move on we must, as Legoland awaits us, as does Copenhagen, Amsterdam and good old England. Actually I think Hamish is more excited about heading to England than he is to Legoland. He doesn’t much like not being able to understand a word anyone says. Me – I’m well used to being treated like a fool because I don’t speak the language. My ego has had a good toughening up and my years of studying sign language have come in extremely useful as I have mimed my way through the German countryside. The little lad has found it a bit more challenging.

Seriously though I am a bit sad to be leaving Germany so soon. The history is so vast and so rich – and at points so recent. in Berlin you don’t have to conjure up images of princes from long ago – you can see the photos from just 20 years ago of a reality so vastly removed from our own. Sadly with all the sickness going around we spent more time in our campervan in Berlin than we did actually seeing the city, but hubby managed to rally on the last day so that we were able to see some sites (even if many of them were from a sightseeing bus!). Here are a couple of snaps I took. The official photos will have to wait another day or two.
