My Parents and sister Hannah came over to visit in may/June this year. It was great seeing them again after almost two years and we had some great times catching up and showing them around.
One of the highlights was a trip to Germany to visit the Wuensch family who are our cousins.
We stayed in there beautiful house and enjoyed their hospitality and wonderful German food.
We took a day trip to the Harz mountains to visit other relatives and stopped on the way at a great little German town called Quedlinberg.
My Grandmother was born in Bohemia in the Czech Republic and her childhood house is still there. So we took a drive over the border and found the house. It is in a pretty little town with green rolling hills and wildflowers and I can see why she liked it so much. We had a huge lunch in the town and were surprised at how cheap the Czech Republic was compared with Western Europe. The way back to Germany was very picturesque and we stopped at the German city of Dresden on the way. Dresden was bombed heavily in WW2 but has been rebuilt and is a very pretty city on the bank of the river Elbe.
On our final day we took the train to Berlin and spent the day wandering around and enjoying the sunshine. We would have liked more time but still saw some of the great buildings and soaked up some of the history.
