Happy Easter! It's been harder to find Wifi in Germany than we thought it would be. Today is Good Friday and we are spending Easter in Saxon Switzerland just south-east of Dresden. We are currently about 1.5km from the Czech border and around 100km from the Polish border. Its raining today, and we have managed to procure Wifi in the village of Bad Shandau (see picture attached), which has several cake shops (Konditerei) to keep us both happy. The truck is currently parked in another awesome spot, just by the river. This week, we have had, sun, hail and rain! - so not as hot as last week. We knew it couldn't last forever. Since leaving Konigstein, we drove north-east to Thurungia and spent a couple of days there enjoying the footpaths. The temperature dropped dramatically from a balmy 20 degrees, to about 7 degrees, but we wrapped up warm and enjoyed the scenery around Eisenach and Wurtzburg Castle (Tuesday) before driving through the Saale Valley to our current destination. We have been trying to keep up to date with the news, and Ed's mum (Rosie) has a contact in Eastern Ukraine, so we are waiting to confirm whether or not we should go there at all following the recent skirmishes in the east. We are debating an alternative route, to take us north through Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, as Ed has never visited those countries before (and I definitely haven't!). We will then travel south through Russia and into Kazakhstan as planned. We're hoping to be in Russia within the next 10 days or so. We are hoping to get into Poland in the next few days, so soon we will be saying Auf Wiedersehen to Germany and Dzien Dobry to Poland. Hope your all enjoying the Easter Hols. Lots of Love, Ed & Ros.

A very Happy Easter to you too and hope the rest of your journey will go as planned. We talked to your Dad, Ed, and he is in good form after the operation. Have a great time especially in Mongolia.
