To the Low Countries

Nieuw Vennep, Netherlands

Today we left Germany for the Netherlands on the train, travelling through farmland and towns for 4 hours 40 minutes. At Frankfurt Railway Station we found a great model railway enclosed in a glass case – thinking of Karl of course. Our trip was uneventful and relaxing.

Arriving at Nieuw Vennep just before 7 pm, we wondered how we might recognise Petra but when we saw Von striding across the carpark towards us, we had no doubts. A great welcome, as if we were close family. When we got home, we were really made to feel at home. A quaint attic room up a narrow, curving staircase was ours.
