Saturday started with a lovely relaxing breakfast and off for a tour of Braunschweig. This was the community where Knud and Kathy met while at university. Even though it was heavily damaged during WWII, it was a fascinating place to visit. Saw the rebuilt castle façade. The city was filled with pockets of interesting city halls, historical market squares and beautiful churches. At the city hall where Kathy & Knud were married, we happened upon a wedding!
Then we travelled Apelnstedt. Kathy and Knud took us to visit with Patty, Uli, Marcus, son Tim, and the Dombrowski’s mother, Olga. Had a lovely tea, coffee and cake party. Very impressed by Patty’s working dog Aiko and puppy Monty. So nice to visit with Olga after all these years apart. Bernie had a wonderful visit with Marcus. The three hours of chatting and reminiscing flew by. Got some great pictures. Too soon, it was time to leave.
Returned to Bienenbuttel – even the trip there & back was interesting as we saw a windmill museum going and storks, on the trip back. Got to share a lovely meal with all the Dombrowskis as Vincent had returned from a holiday in Vienna. Our first taste of schnitzel was terrific. A busy and memorable day.
More to follow …
