Unrelated to the flea market, Cristina loves these lamps.
The original plan was for us to leave Blomberg this morning, but with us not expected in Hamburg till dinner time, we had more of the morning/afternoon to spend at Marion's. Harry and Sören already had plans to help a friend out of town, and Marion was going to study all day. But we went over to their house after we were packed to wash another load of clothes (and use their wi-fi) under the stipulation that Marion would be studying and not visiting.
It didn't quite work out that way.
Cristina has been painfully dealing with some kind of pinched nerve in her back/neck area, and Marion has been giving her treatments, which have greatly helped. She gave Cristina one more adjustment, which has Cristina almost feeling normal again.
Then Marion took a tea break and sat on the porch chatting while I used her printer to print off driving directions from Copenhagen to Hamburg, as well as the car rental info.
Then we ate some lunch.
By the time we were finally packed up, Harry and Sören were home. We hit the road at 4:30.
Google said two and a half hours. The Volvo GPS said 2:45. Harry said 4 hours due to holiday traffic and construction. The final answer was somewhere in between. We arrived at Martin's place around 8 pm.
New record. I got to 185 (115 mph), but Cristina missed it with the camera. Some slow person made me come off of cruise.
After all that work, I didn't want to move the car till the next morning. We carried all our stuff into Martin's apartment.
Packing is always a chore, but we're pretty efficient at unpacking and getting settled. After everything was inside, I made dinner while Cristina got organized. We watched Mr. Bean's Holiday while we ate. Martin's new roommate, Viktoria, watched it with us. She is relatively new to Hamburg, so she couldn't give us any tips for sightseeing. And though there was wi-fi, we did not have the key (nor did Viktoria).
I got ready for my Copenhagen excursion and went to bed.
