June 2018 Bob and Vicky UIllrich travel through Germany. This year: The North 10 Days, 2 people. Miles and More from Amsterdam
The first time that we met was years ago during heritage programs together with Udo and Doris Thörner in Venne and the Osnabrück area. 2018 was already the 3rd time that we traveled together on personal itineraries. Again included were Bob's and Vicky's family history sites and chapters of the Louisville KY German heritage, a prominent subject in their articles and books. It was a Northern route from Amsterdam via the great Northsea dyke via East Frisia to Oldenburg and onward to Hamburg, Lübeck, the Baltic coast and on to Berlin. Göttingen and it's University tradition was a must for Bob and in Dessau Vicky collected infos for lectures on the Bauhaus architectural school. But the many highlights on this and earlier tours could not match the joy when Vicky's delayed bag was finally delivered to Hamburg.
