Steinhude, Germany - 27th April 2014
By: Dr.Kröbner
Hi mum,
I accompanied host mum and dad to a special anniversary at Lake Steinhude in lower Saxony,
The Steinhuder Meer or Lake Steinhude is a lake in Lower Saxony, Germany located 30 kilometres northwest of Hanover. It is named after the nearby village of Steinhude. It has an area of about 30 square kilometres , making it the largest lake of northwestern Germany, but it is very shallow, with an average depth of only 1.35 metres and a maximum depth of less than 3 metres . It lies within a region known as the Hanoverian Moor Geest.
Morningmood on the motorway 
50 year sailing in the boat class Flying Dutchman. Many friends of the persons celebrating the jubilee, come to party and made short races round the island and fortress Wilhelmsstein with the Flying Dutchmans . While there were more guests than space on the sailing boats it was necessary to charter one of the typical touristboats of Lake Steinhude, the" Emigrants”.
the name "Emigrants" goes back to the early days of tourism on Steinhude: The sailboats drove from Schaumburg-Lippe Steinhude into the Prussian-Hanoverian "abroad" and "emigrated"

our "Emigrants"
The weather with good wind and sunshine was very nice and the 10 teams, mixed from amateurs, champions up to olympicmedalists, fought exciting races with lots of fun. 
Fortress Wilhelmstein, here we come!

kisses for you mum

Wilhelmina, Sweden - 23rd May 2014
By: Dr.Kröbner
Hello mum,
finally the time has come, that we start our holiday trip northward in our motorhome
After 3 hours driving we pass Schleswig-Holstein with a golden Sundown.
Additional 3 hours later we pass Denmarks highes Point ( the Store Bealt Bridge Pylones with 254m above sealevel) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Belt_Fixed_Link
…and one hour later we pass Kopenhavn , the tunnel and Öresund bridge between Denmark and Sweden http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98resund_Bridge
bad weather 
From here we drove directly northward, following the E20 (European Highway no. 20)
First overnight stop on a motorway service area near Helsingborg (in the far we can see the Baltic Sea and the coast from Denmark)
After a catlik and a promise and 3 hours we reached Göteborg and changed from the E20…..
…. to the E45 until Karesuando at the border between Sweden and Finland.
We ride and ride and ride, landscapes are passing by and what a pity, it started to rain….. not realy, but isolated raindrops on the windscreen beclouded our excellent view …. At last we pass Mora and found a place for the night in Orsa.
Next morning starts with rain, more rain, and much more rain…… so we escape northward … and we pass Stornuman with a giant moose. …
..the rain slow down and when he stopped finally, we stopped too, on an campsite north of Wilhelmina
(the owner must be a fan for Salmonfishing, as you can see in the background)
more soon
yours
Troot
