Memory is a strange thing…

Here in a German village meeting friends again and staying in their nice big house.

Last time we have met with the host was August 1970 in Kilpisjarvi.

It was really fun and nostalgic to look their photo album from that trip through Finland, from Lohja up to North Lapland. By sharing the memories the trip was fulfilled in my mind.

In the breakfast table I remembered how I was taught to peel the egg, when visiting parents of today's host — In the breakfast table I remembered how I was taught to peel the egg, when visiting parents of today’s host

I spent as a schoolgirl some weeks in a German family, and from that time I know these friends.

Spent two wonderful days in warm and green Jylland, seen great etnographique museum in Aarhus with an exhibition of Roman fighters,walked along the coastline and enjoyed good food and beautiful garden.

My Danish friendship updated during two days at her place in Silkeborg.

Waiting for train towards Hamburg at Skanderborg Denmark

Now in a fully packed train and soon crossing the German border. It seems that buying seat tickets is a must if you wish to sit. Looking forward to Celle and Wathlingen.

Happily in Silkeborg

Train connections between Copenhagen and Odense were a bit confusing as part of the train were replaced with a bus, but luckily I started early in the morning and could reach the meeting place with my old penfriend in time. Suppose we met last time -66 or -67, so 50 years ago. We have been sitting in the garden enjoying sun and a glass of wine and going through our lives since that a lot had happened.

This Jylland is surprisingly hilly with forests and lakes. Summer is really here now. Will stay here two nights with the luxury of own room and towel. On the other hand sharing room with three ladies in Malmø went better than I expected and I could have a good night sleep although the first room mates were leaving at the dawn. In Odense I could buy seat tickets for my travel to Germany, so also the next couple of days are in order now. No pics this time as we could not find the password for wireless and have not acces to internet from my Ipad.
