Guten Tag

Well well we have arrived in Soest Germany, a beautiful medieval town which has a walled old town centre. We  are lucky enough to be staying inside the walls at Melanie's Auntie Sue's and uncle Frank's house.

Noah say "CHEESE"

The flight over went without any major dramas althought it was still very hard with the little ones. Milly was very good but Noah was very curious and found it hard to keep still in his seat. I took him on countless walks to the back of the plane to throw rubbish in the BIN!!! The BIG BIN!!!

Beautiful Soest...and Melanie

"CHEESE!!!"

The last two days have been very busy trying to sort out our car and now i am proud to say we are the owners of a peugoet 307sw. The process has been very simple thanks to Frank's local knowledge. Without Sue and Frank we would be really struggling, it's very difficult not knowing the language, i have just been standing there feeling like Franks shadow not understanding anything while Frank did all the negotiating. Frank got us a really good deal on insurance and the car comes with a one year warranty so we are all set to hit the road. We will spend the next few days enjoying Sue and Franks hospitality and their Wunderbar village before heading south to Austria.
If only the people would speak english and drive on the left, this place would be perfect.
Chat Soon

LEAVING TODAY

After three weeks of total stress we have finally packed up our whole lives into four medium suitcases. We are about 5 hours away from boarding and i think everything is finally in order, well it will have to do.

We are going to try really hard to keep up this blog as a reminder of our travels and a chance for everyone we know to come along with us. We haven't done a blog before and computers really fustrate us so i hope it won't be too hard.

Come and join us on our travels, post messages and comments and any advice, thats if you can work out how. Help us all keep in touch where ever in the world we all are.
