Hanging out in Havetoft

Havetoft is a tiny town of maybe 200 people. It is beautiful, very friendly people, but was here for 2 weeks with no transportation out. My bike had to go to the shop. I had noticed something was a bit off shortly after I left Sarajevo. Since there was nothing they could do there, with there being no BMW in the country (for bikes), I continued on. I knew there was BMW in Budapest, so I went there and asked them to look. I thoughht my forks were bent. Yes they are, and so is the front axle, was the answer. I could hang around for over a week till they fix it, or carry on safely. As I knew I was gonna hang out with my family for a few weeks, I opted to continue on. Slowly. I got up here, took it to the shop, and €1002 and 2 weeks later, I have her back! It's good to be riding again. I can't complain however. The people here are so nice.

One of the neighbours, Alex was going into Flensburg, so she took me in too. I got the train back to a nearby station, and Maike picked me up on her way home from work.

 






  
Then a couple of days later, Alex was going for half the day into Schleswig. So I went with. I wondered about all the places I have been before, but they are always lovely.






 
Then one day last week, I went into Hamburg. Still love that city. Had my usual cake at the Alster House. I go there everytime I am in Hamburg for a piece of cake. It is so good!!





Every weekend so far there has been something going on. Anniversary parties, birthday parties, for a little town, there is always something going on. It's great I love it! Amelie's birthday to the left, Alex and Gunnar's Anniversary party to the right.
 

















Maike and I went to a Handball game in Flensburg to watch the home team kick Lübecker's arse! Good game. Very fast paced.







Went for a walk on the Schlei one sunny sunday afternoon. Plenty of puddles to be jumping....









Now I have found my new found freedom, I went yesterday to the North Sea, which is different. I hadn't seen anything like that before. I know they have that sort of thing in England, but I haven't been there. Shortly I will go for a ride around my Mum's home town, and tomorrow, I'm going to the Ost See, before visiting my cousin Sina near Hamburg for the weekend.
