Thursday July 16 - July 28 1998: I did the usual stuff of my European vacation. Went to Berlin where I saw my great aunt and her son and her grand children and new great grandchildren. Berlin was a little hot, but I had no trouble anymore with the heat. I went swimming in the Wansee. I also spent a few days in Freiburg where I climbed the Schauinsland Berg (Mountain) on a rented bicycle. It was a piece of cake after my Zimbabwe training. I went also to the Mineral Bad (Thermal baths) in Freiburg and got a good massage of all my muscles in that sulphur water. I saw my "Gruner Freund Familie" in Gundelfingen. He is now riding a recumbent bicycle and does not use his motor scooter anymore. He was so proud to show me this. I saw the Freiburg "Love Parade" a big Techno happening parade. It was fun to watch. It turned out one of the ladies dancing on the float was the daughter of my friend Michael in Gundelfingen. I have added in my usual climb on the bike via the Radweg of the Schauinsland Berg and a picture of the view from my typical lunch spot, looking down a little farmer's valley and finally the view from the top of Schauinsland. Back in London, I took my aunt out for her birthday to a Thai restaurant. I also saw the fantastic musical at the Shaftsbury Theatre called "Rent". It originated in New York City and reminded me of "Hair". It was like a "Hair" for the 90's. The day before I left, I went up to Cambridge, England to visit it. It was neat. So that was my 2 month summer vacation 1998 this year. Thanx for reading this far. I hope your eyeballs are not to sore!! Peace, Love , Freedom, Happiness! Viktor
