We spent a good amount of time on the road in Germany, and the white bus that Iria's cousin Thorsten leant us soon became known as "The Doescher Family Tour Van".

Packing the kids in the car was always an adventure- especially when Jakob and Anna were visiting.

Lukas and Lennon shared the back row. Note the frost on the windshield- it was COLD in Germany.

Iria drove... and I sat in the passenger seat playing around with my iPhone and DS.

The kids alternated between sleeping and asking "are we there yet?" over and over.

The scenery was great, but I didn't get many pictures of it. Although I couldn't resist snapping a shot of this person walking along the road in the freezing cold- it looked very Bergman.
