| Fred-Report: Hello to all my friends or as we say in Northern Germany: Moin Moin Do you know where I spent the last weeks? I will tell you: I was on holiday! Fred on holiday? You can't belive it? Ok, you are right. It was more a mixture of working and relaxing and of course I spent my holiday on a ship! After I spent some days with Miriam at "Barkassen Meyer" in Hamburg, I joined her parents Sabine and Wulfdieter on a cruise ship. It's my first time as a real passenger and I really enjoyed it. On November, 1st we took the plane from Hamburg to London and after a boring ride on a bus we arrived the Independence of the Seas. Wow, what a huge ship.  As you might can imagine I immediately found a lot of new friends and we did a lot of cool stuff together. I will tell you some of the stories within the next days.
