Friends in Germany

Here it is at last Ken and Sabine's new Honda Varadero 1000

We are ready to ride, a short day but on the road at last.

The Kellers in Overath. Martin, Dagmar, Nikolai, Alicia and Timo.

Heinz, Martina, and the boys Jonas and Lukas.

Ken and Lukas are very serious about a game of chess.

Knights of iron guarding the Rathaus in Bremen.

We are standing with a statue of a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster. The four animals in a fable.

A quick note as Ken and I set off on our own, east to Czech. We have spent the last 12 days visiting great friends here in Germany. Before we left Weisbaden Vitor took Ken for a ride in his Opel special project car, they hit the autoban and before you could shake your head they were up to a speed of 265 km/hour (ken still has smile on his face, I think it may be perminant). From there is was north to Overath to see the Kellers. We had a short stay with them, it was great to see them again after 2 years. The kids have all grown like crazy. From there it was even farther north to Asendorf to visit the Dieterings, who we had met last trip, at the motorcycle hotel in France. After two great days of visiting and riding with them through some beautiful countryside it was time to move on and discover new territory...and languages. We are well rested and well fed. Eastern Europe here we come!
