Early start to the day. Breakfast and dishes then off to town for a walk. Enjoying very much the delight on Denise's face and in her voice as we walk and see and shop. Essentials like hair spray, sandals and shorts (for her), non essentials like strawberries (Erdbeeren) and ice creams (Kirsch and Mandarine). Walked up the hill and arrived just on midday – lunch will be 1.30.
Taking photos: A van stopped for me so I could take a scenic one -– also trying to take photos of the people and finding them ducking out of the way if they became aware of the camera pointing at them. The perpetual forehead furrows amazed us both and the lack of smiles. It seems people are quite earnest. We tried doing the kiwi pass on a smile thing to people but there was not a lot of immediate response.
Then off to Bingen - well lunch was actually at 2.30, then we talked and had a rest, D did the dishes, then had coffee & cake and then just after four we left. We got there at 4.45 and paid only €5 each instead of €14 but we had to wait 15 mins to get in. Time to take pictures of the Rhine.
The garden show stretched for 1-2 kilometers along the riverbank, with all sorts of interesting displays. Meanwhile Tobias had gone to the skatepark - he rides longboard. Long walks and long talks with MM.
Returned by 7.45 and MM went to her Handbell group while Claus and I looked at photos and talked, . On her return we had smorgasbord again. Then while C & I talked and looked at more photos and showed him "Jesus on the Internet" MM gave Denise a reiki “massage”. Another late night.
