ALPACA HAT STORY


Meike's "mum" Karin Gruermann of Iserlohn, Germany gets ready for another hiking trip wearing the famous alpaca hat
.

Hey you!

Oh what a walking tour.........

On Sunday we arrived at Hamburg. The two days we spent there were really fantastic, especially the Monday evening! Mum was frightened because we went to the stadium of St. Pauli to see the match. It's really cult there! The fans are fantastic and enthusiastic, even when their team is not winning. It was a great atmosphere and in the end my club had won!

On the very early Tuesday Morning we start our hike. What should I say? We both wear our bike trousers, a normal jacket, a cap, no, Mum wear the very famous alpaca hat. As we were sitting on a bench to eat our breakfast which we bought in the supermarket a policeman passed us. And for a minutes he thought that we
are tramps! You can really see it in is facial expression! I can't tell you anything that happened! One day we were in a "walking-ecstasy" that we walked in the dark. We reached our pension late in the evening. Another day we had a short stage and we went to a brine bath. We were just sitting in the hottest pool - relaxing! On our last bed and breakfast the pension belongs (????) to an elderly couple. We didn't see the woman at all, but the man! OH NO! He speaks more than Mum ever had spoken (hihi). We didn't had any shampoo so I had to ask him if he could lend us some. It takes me more than half an hour, because he tells me everything.

A special attention, please: I should tell you that the alpaca hat is the best that Mum ever had for her hiking. Believe it or not: Some people we met envy Mum for her hat.

Regards from all of us to all of you!
