11th story: Back home
(07.03.05 - 23.03.05)At
short sight we went back home to
Germany from Dakar/Senegal on
March 6th. We nearly didn’t
make it! Our tickets, which we
had booked online, didn’t
arrive on time. But on the
telephone we were told that we
could board the plane with a
faxed confirmation. Of course
things were different when we
wanted to check in. Luckily the
captain of this flight was quite
helpful and 20 minutes before
departure we were allowed to
board the plane.
What a hassle!
The next morning we got a warm
welcome including a breakfast
from our friend Susanne at the
Frankfurt airport. At noon we
continued on to Hamburg. During
our visit we stayed at
Franziska’s mother’s
house in Bad Oldesloe,
conveniently situated between
Hamburg and Lübeck.
Our main reason for coming home
was the fact that Hendrik had to
get his routine medical checkups
because of his diabetes. All his
results were good, though. But on
March 18th the dentist had to
pull a wisdom-tooth. We also
managed to exchange some of the
equipment respectively buy some
new things. We would like to
thank all our sponsors once
again!
Though it was quite hectic
during these two weeks we really
enjoyed seeing our friends and
our families and also enjoyed
eating our favourite food again.
But two weeks are enough now and
we are anxious to be on our bikes
again.
