... visas! It was a bit up in the air as the process is pretty tricky - most people use an agent for this - but we managed to secure them ourselves so the plan is still intact. Now we have to deal with getting our China and Mongolia visas. As for how we've kept ourselves busy for the last couple of weeks in the van...we headed north into what was formerly East Germany. Our first bit of exploring was in the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) region, a mountainous area ...

... of more ants. Our best efforts to rid ourselves of the pesky insects have proven to be less than 100% effective; we still find ourselves slapping our arms and legs and chasing the odd one around. We suspect there are many more hiding in the dark recesses, and the ones we see out and about are the scouts. We pray that we get them in time before they return to their troops to report on their findings. Ants aside, we began our exploration of the small landmass on Cap Corse, a pinky ...

... Now back to our long day...we spent about fifteen hours on the road getting back to Landshut from Paris (yes, we returned to Paris, more on that later); we were dying and determined to sleep in a real bed and have a clean, private shower for a change. The journey home was broken by several rest stops (if not for us, at least to give Freda a break) and wasn't without its dramas.

... them already) and they came and tightened up some loose cables on the battery and told us that the battery needed changing (after scaring us first by saying the alternator was bad...which he quickly took back after a test). Once at the shop and after talking to the machanic, we decided to bring it back the next morning, after buying some things the van needed (like a new battery and new tires). Tuesday morning we brought it back with the new battery, tires and seven litres of ...

... name Alcos! Once they give their OK, they send it back to us, then we can go to the local passport office and apply for the change. Of course, every step along the way costs money too. God bless red tape! Other than that, we've been doing all sorts of errands...laundry (lots of laundry - not sure why we brought so much clothes?), shopping for things we need on the road, tuning up our bicycles, cleaning and disinfecting our twenty year old van ...

... left the grandstands and followed the parade to the festival grounds. There they had an encampment and the tournament field. Prior to the tournament there was entertainment: jugglers, acrobats, etc. Then the nobility began arriving. After everyone was in place, the first contest was the "Rolandspiel," or "Iron Knight." Riders tried to strike a spot on a shield with their lances. If they were successful, the bullseye section of the shield flipped back. If they struck the shield ...

Our last day in Freising. Rick went to work and I took the S-Bahn to Hauptbahnhof. I found where the city a bus tour began and after dashing back to the train station to get change, I bought a ticket. Included in the tour was a visit to the Olympic Stadium and the tower ...
