Oh yes, we are definitely going to do something Dr Who related. And something Harry Potter related for the kids. And I want to see the latest figures at Madame Tussaud's.
And because I always do that whenever possible: go into a bookstore. No need to buy a book, but just for the feeling of it and the smell of the books.

And France. The kids wanted to see Paris. And I want to go there again, too. It us easy to travel to Paris from here. You just take the train from Munich. And they need to see Versailles. As a child, I often was in Versailles with my parents. Mostly on our way back or to the Bretagne with the camping trailer.

Dina:
I would have love to see Versailles. When we were in London, we spend time in Paris too (most romantic New Year ever, sailing in la Seine). But no time or money to go to Versailles.
There is a Who Shop in London, that sell all Doctor Who related things and even has a small museum with some things from the show. And the better part is the entrance to the museum, you need to see it. You have to take the train. It is in West Ham I believe. I am not very sure but you can google it. I really recommend it.
I loved Mme Tussaud. My pictures with Patrick Stewart, Brad Pitt and Judy Dench are among my favourite ever. I think your girls will love every second of your travel.
Also, camping trailer? *is interested*.

Regenbogen:
Hi, I knew about the Who shop. A friend was there last year and sent pictures.
When I was a child we always went camping and later on, my parents sometimes rented a trailer. They liked the trailers so much, that they decided to buy a used one for ourselves. During the year, it would either be in a farmer's barn in winter or in our garden. We celebrated birthdays in there and overnight parties and my dad often used it to sleep during the day after his night shifts. So my mom didn't need to be quiet all the time.

Those holidays with the trailer are my happiest childhood memories. I'm still trying to convince my husband to invest in one or to try one out to see if he likes it. But no such luck yet.


Other topic: Last night I dreamed that you (Dina) and your hubby were visiting us. We went buying the new sofa. A big one so you could both sleep on it. Then we went to the cinema to watch Deadpool and Wolverine and after that we ate pizza.

Do you think this is prophetic? Either you'll come to visit or we are going to buy the sofa or we are going to go to the cinema?

We definitely need that sofa soon. Only Micro is light weight enough to sit in the middle now and I have already stitched some parts together, but you can still see the white stuffing behind the stitches, lol. Also, the cats are not healthy for the poor sofa.
I definitely want something big, where more than one person can put their legs up.

Dina:
Hi there! Well, if you can go to the Who shop, do it  :)

Your memories about the trailer sound amazing! We never had a trailer, but when I was a child we went camping several times, with a big tent. Those are among my happiest memories too. My dad loved to go camping and when he was single he usually went camping to Bariloche every Summer with what was, i think, a local chapter of the YMCA.

Bariloche is a city in the Patagonia, in our South, but not as Southern as other places, so the cold is not so terrible, even in Winter. Big mountains and lakes. As beautiful as you can imagine. Some parts of it have a German architecture too. And yes, some nazi went there. But please, do not think we are full of nazi refugees. That is mostly an stereotype.

Back to the point, eventually (when we became less poor and my parents were not so young) we pretty much stopped camping and stayed only in hotels. So, my memories of camping are all from my childhood (except for a couple of days with friends when I was a teenager). And, just in your case, those are among my favourite memories. As long as sleeping in the back seat of the car. Now that is forbidden, but at the time, it was quite common. And I loved it so much.

Great dream! It would be wonderful (even when hubby and I are way too large for any sofa  ;D ;D ;D). About how prophetic...well, I had a slice of pizza today at lunch (a celebration of an ex-student who became a doctor). I do not think we are going to watch Deadpool and Wolverine in the theatres, but I hope we will watch it someday.

I am very happy that you dreamed about us  :). I feel honored, so thank you.

This post is too long, so I will tell you a little about my week (which will be quite busy) tomorrow. Meanwhile, you and everyone reading, have a good night/day, whatever. (Remind me that I tell you about "good maen", please).

Regenbogen:
Good maen.
I almost forgot about that.
I'm going to eat my lunch now. Leftover salmon with vegetables. The potatoes didn't survive yesterday evening. Yum.

I just finished the new Mercy Thompson book.  Now back to Daniel Faust.
