Will you buy me a castle??

After visiting the castle we headed to Veronica's for the afternoon. When Niels was little he was best friends with her son Martin.  Unbeknownst to us Martin was home for spring holiday and joined us for lunch.  It had been many years since Niels and Martin had seen each other and from their reactions they had changed quite a bit from the last time they had seen each other. They were no longer schoolboys but now young men.

There were a couple of akward moments during lunch because of the language barrier. Veronica does not speak English, yet would talk to me as if I understood her. Niels and Martin acted as translators and we were able to have lovely conversations with much help from them.

After lunch we drove into Dusseldorf, I think we were going to go to the art museam, but that fell by the wayside and we walked around the city instead. We stopped by Eva's apartment but she was not home, but Lily (Eva & Martin's sister) was, she too was looking for Eva, so instead we went to the flea market that was being held at one of the shopping centers until Eva returned home.

After making our way through the tables of goods, Niels and I said good bye to Martin and Veronica and with Lily headed back to Eva's apartment.
