Day 34 – Being open

Journey: Bremen – Moorwerder (near Hamburg)

I really felt like a lazy day today and I wasn’t out of bed much before 10. Ernest still had oodles of energy so I decided to take him on a short run (since found out he is much too young so musnt until he is fully grown 1-2yrs old). Still after initially jogging with a Tigger type lead grabbing pup he got into a nice flow and we found Burgerpark and had a lovely jog. 

There were lots of runners of all ages..too many for it to be a coincidence so I asked a passing lady. Ulrike was so friendly, and told me it was a charity run for a local family that had come on hard times. She and the group invited me to join them for a drink at a local park restaurant where friends were playing live music, so I picked up Mark and the other pups and had a wonderful time chatting, listening to the band and making new connections. Just that one question to a stranger shaped our whole day and it was so nice 😊 I love being open and talking to people.

Rather than pushing all the way to Hamburg we opted for a nice campsite part way, did the van chores, had a two hour nap and showered. The only drawback was Mark asking me to get a tick off his bum 🙈😂 (they are really bad here, picking dozens of Jasper and Ernest every day. Mabel and I are seemingly too gross to live on)
