Things have been awfully busy the past couple of months. There just wasn’t any traveling to report but we did discover a few lakes just south of Munich that I wanted to share. That will be another post for another day.
For now I am completely stoked that we are going north this holiday. Way north. First we will travel to Belgium and meet our friend for a short tour of Brussels [in German, Brüssel]. I’ll have to brush up on understanding broken English because I’ve have no clue how to speak French, Flemish or Dutch. Is Flemish Dutch or is Dutch Flemish or are they completely different languages, ugh?! Yet, I’m looking forward to Belgium “french” fries, waffles, chocolate, and beer. Ew, so healthy.
Then we head to an island on the German coast of the North Sea, Amrum, a North Frisian Island. I will get to ride on a ferry over the North Sea and see large sand dunes and mud flats. The language should be cool, a mix of English and German. I presume that on the menu will be an assortment of sausages and hopefully seafood, like Amrumer Pannfisch, pan-fried fish, with fried potatoes, bacon, onions and, most importantly, a topping of North Sea shrimp.
I wish you well in all your travels…sounds like lots of fun and delicious food to be had!
That sounds tasty. My peepz are from Kiel; I’ve always wanted to travel around up there and check out tidal action on the shores of the North and Baltic seas. Take lots of pictures, please! We are thinking of Northern Germany as a destination for when the in-laws come to visit in May.
Glad to have you back. Yes, it sure has been a while since you’ve written.
Have a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!!
Enjoy north Germany. We’ve been to some of the German islands in the North sea and have enjoyed every visit.
Ironically we will be visiting Munich for silvester
Have a merry Christmas and a very happy new year!
