How fun!!

Hello Steve and Dodie, welcome in Germany. We follow your trip mostly. Your first part with your grandchildren was so beautiful. We are in the moment at the Baltica See. Have a good trip to Spain. In November we will stay some days in Vancouver. Best wishes from Birgit and Jürgen from Markranstädt 😃
