Home sweet Home

So in the last few days we moved into our pimpin' pad in Darmstadt.

Photos will follow

So far its all going well, though we can't play any music as we didn't bring any cassettes or records with us. A stereo from this century will be purchased. Today we will get our first load of clothes we sent over. The rest of our stuff will arrive mid Dec.

This morning when we opened our font door there was a note on the mat the began with 'Herr White' the rest of which we couldn't read. Not because of our German skills, but we couldn't actually make out the words. After much debate we made out enough to realise they need our keys during the day so that the leaking tap in the kitchen could be fixed (we could see the words Schüssel - key and Wasserhahn - tap). After a quick tidy we left the keys with the land lady, who was very impressed with our attempt in German to tell her where we were going today. We have no idea what she said back to us though.

We have been checking out the local area and have a US military barracks, a Wal Mart, a Pizza Hut, Burger King, and on the plus side, two backeries, butchers (a plus for Brush), discount supermarkets (Aldi, Lidl, Plus), bus stops and a train station for me, and so on. I am going to have to get a grandma shoping trolley so that I can go to the supermarket when Brett is away with the car.
