German research project day 1

We logged 800K more or less and are installed at a Best Western in Gottingen.

Mack, our Tomtom (GPS) had a bit of a temper tantrum and refused to program itself even for Basel, but after Lausanne it behaved admirably. It helped us find the hotel, and we opted for the first possible to top driving/riding as soon as possible especially because we've at least another 400 K tomorrow and we want to stop at the concentration camp in Hamburg to research where the victims of the Cap Arcona came from.

The hotel in Kirchdorf has confirmed our reservation.

My friend Willa Schroeder lived in Hamburg during the war.
She was a teen and sent to the country to live. Her home in Hamburg was bombed to the ground. She and her mother cleaned the site and each brick and the house was rebuilt. She had amazing photos. She's gone now but it was an education for me.
Sounds as though you're doing some fine research.
Keep at it!
