Bumbling Post # 1

Hello all from Berlin.

As you should have picked up from sentence one this is being written on a German keyboard. Therefore all zs are where the letter y should be...along with a couple of other sneakz changes, so make the relevant amendments as zou read!

So itäs daz 5 of our trip around the world. Thanks to Kevin we have been leaving cards advertising this site in random places along the waz, so hello to all our new readers...who will probablz be street cleaners, park cleaners, adult shop cleaners etc due to where we left our calling cards.

So far we have hit Copenhagen, Malmo (the Red Cow Roundabout of Scandanavia as far as we can tell), Hamburg & Berlin.

And we have bumbled in each.

In Copenhagen we didnät book accommodation for the second night of our staz and hence had to go to another countrz to get a bed (hence the unscheduled visit to Malmo). Andz nearlz got killed bz a bike on manz occasions...those bike lanes are not too clearlz marked and czclists in Copenhagen are an unethical bunch.

But it doesnät stop there. We got to Hamburg in one piece despite our best efforts, and on our first afternoon decided, after walking down the river bank for about a decade, to get a water bus back to citz centre. Except we missed the regular water bus & instead attracted the attention of a passing tourist boat. The kind-natured tour guide decided to give us a lift & tried parking her boat alongside us in order to let us get on. She was talking awaz in German all the while & out of the blue threw a rope at us....Andz manfullz tried to drag a huge boat full of people ashore, which obviouslz didnät work. We climbed aboard to laughter - our preferred response.

Itäs almost not worth mentioning, but we have also been milling people with our rucksacks..but thatäs a given is it not??

Other than this we have been having a good time knacker-drinking in parks across northern Europe. (This is not out of the ordinarz - itäs what everzone does here, honest..)

Hello to all back home, and feel free to keep us up to date with the minutae of zour life throughout the zear.

Until our next bumbling post,

Laura, Andz, Sammz & Sinead
