We were up early .....the bed was as hard as the floor. Neither of us slept well, but we showered and out the door we went. Our Zimmer didnt provide breakfast, we knew that and were off to find a bakery/caf.
The folks at the Zimmer told us Um de Ecke (around the corner). Well up the street we found the bakery. We each had a brochen and coffee.
Maria, James, Eva and Swen decided weeks ago to meet today (Hedys Birthday) at Marias house to spread Hedy and Bills ashes in Marias garden where Hedy and Bill have spent many, many hours, days and evenings vacationing.
Basically, a remembrance for Hedy and Bill. We were all invited but due to everyones busy life, along with a hurricane thrown in, everyone regretfully declined.
I entered Wangen into Google Maps and Apple Car Play took it from there. From our Zimmer we had drive. Back roads because Kirsten must have a scenic route, and I strongly agree.
Again, we stopped and had a picnic on the side of the road and rested a bit and then back into the car and off we went.
While Kirsten was diving, I found us a hotel in Wangen and booked it. I got to tell you this whole internet and iPhone thing is amazing. Im searching hotels, restaurants and festivals as were heading down the road.
I walked up to the door swiped my credit card it issued two card type keys and the front door popped open.
Swen had just arrived and Maria and James were greeting them. Amazing timing, as navigator I take full credit. Kirsten is rolling her eyes......
We walked up behind them and followed them in. They didnt notice us walking up while they were getting their stuff and greeting each other. We followed them upstairs into Marias apartment.
They were talking and laughing not even noticing we were behind them until they reached the top of the stairs.
Swen turned; shocked that someone was behind him and them exploded with excitement when he realized it was Kirsten and me.
Maria had cake and coffee just like Omi had requested. We sat around remembering Hedy and Bill each telling stories. What a wonderful time.
in Marias apartment, we had a wonderful dinner. We continued to talk about old times, traveling, showing pictures and yes, we solved all the world problems. If only the world would now listen to us.
