Title: Spring in Northern Gemany
Post by: ScottColumbus on May 04, 2008, 10:42:30 AM

Hello alltogether,

it´s been while since I wrote and posted some pics at R65.org.  ::) But that doesn´t mean that I didn´t read here. ;)

It´s getting warmer, even in Northern Germany. My wife Sybille an I are planning a rally for the members of Kleine-Boxer-Forum and try to find out an interesting route. So we rode down the River Elbe down to Cuxhaven, where the Elbe flows into the Northern Sea. This area is called "Das alte Land" (the old land). In former times there lived a lot of fishermen and apple farmers there. The apple farmers are still there. Some of their house are more than 400 years old. The apple trees are blooming right now, so it´s very beautifull there. Hope you like the pics.

This is Hamburg-Blankenese at the other side of the Elbe. A lovely part of the city with a great view over the river (for those people who have enough luck or money to get a house at the seaside of the hills).

We like more the silent places. Here we have a break at a sidearm of the river.

My wife and I work in the centre of Hamburg. It´s a dream of my wife to stop the city work and open a biker hotel in the country. It´s some kind of romantic, not a real plan (for me).

But we´ve fo

Dirk! Welcome back!!
It's about time you made a reappearance and provided us with some great new pics! 8-)

Beautiful shots, as usual. You don't want to help your wife open and run a biker Bed & Breakfast?
I can see the attractiveness of the idea, but it would be a lot of work too.

Again, though, thanks, and don't be such a stranger!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Wow, the brick work is amazing!  You would never see anything like that over here, we haven't been around that long! Such lovely places.  I think your wife has a grand idea!   [smiley=idea2.gif] That farm house looks to be just the ticket!

I take it YOU have a job you LIKE?  ;)


Find some episodes of one of Bob Newhart's shows, called Newhart (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083455/).
That will give you some idea of what that life could be like...

(wink, again...)
