Me and Mark are heading off into the sun again but only for a couple of weeks. The annual autumn German Horizons Unlimited meeting for people with wanderlust is taking place in the Odenwald area which, for those with limited Germanic geography knowledge, is somewhere between Frankfurt and Heidelberg.
The really good news is that we are meeting up with our dear Italian friend Maura who we met last year at the Italian Horizons meeting near Lago Di Idro and she has been away for several months in Australia and New Zealand. We also expect to meet up with a few other travellers that we have met over the years and all that (plus a good bottle of Scotch) will make up for having to camp in a field.
Another great bit of news is that Svetlana is now studying at Essen university and we will be stopping by to spend a few hours with her as well. Svetlana first came into the picture in Vladivostok when she was introduced to us by Yuri Melnikov and the two of them proved to be great friends and an asset in helping us get through the vagaries of the Russian custom processes.
After Essen we hope to take a hike up to Berlin to spend a bit of time with Mark's father-in-law who works for Rolls Royce in their Berlin plant - a busy fortnight ahead !
