| Gunnar and Holger, Kaiser-Wilhelm-Memorial (Porta Westfalica) |
Hello,
from Friday to Sunday we finally had once again Pinneberger hare with us to visit - some of my loyal readers may be better known as Holger and Gunnar von www.northerndelight.de .
The weather was not very kind to us, for our trip to Porta Westfalica Minden and was overshadowed by an icy snow storm. Accordingly, our stay was at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial unfortunately very short. The beautiful view we could not really enjoy.

Romanesque, Gothic, Weser Renaissance, Classicism and Historicism form the city of 83,000 inhabitants town and give it its distinctive charm.
We moved there because of heavy snowfall, however, before then but, we can sweeten a cup of coffee in the market with white chocolate and cakes.
On Sunday we spent comfortably in the GOP-Varieté in Hanover before a cozy weekend together once again, unfortunately far too quickly came to an end.
We look forward to our reunion and say to take this opportunity to once again our heartfelt thanks for the kind help on our birthday party 2010th
