Day 12

Day 12, June 13^th

Great day yesterday, but a bit less of a day today particularly for Graeme. The day started rather overcast and dull and we seem to get into the wrong direction regularly as the road signs in France seem to be non-existent or unclear and even the GPS seem to give us a bumbstear! Anyhow, at lunchtime having arrived in Strasbourg we decided to cross back over the Rhine back into Germany and after some discussion made the decision to take the train to Steinen-Hagelberg to visit our friends Ruth and Johannes. Ruth and Johannes were Elja's host parents when she was there on exchange in 2005. The couple of times I have been able to visit these folks they have always made me feel very welcome and this time it was no different! It was the first time for Graeme to meet R&J but it clicked immediately for him as well.
