WE ARE LEAVING FOR GERMANY

[@ornleifs]

I love travelling in Germany - the bakeries, the resturants, the bookshops, the Opera houses, the beautiful villages and the fantastic beer and the best marzipan in the world - as a tourist destination it's so underrated but all my travels there have been absolutely fantastic.

[@lilyarmitage4168]

I smile every time I watch you guys; you are so cool, calm and collected. A match made in heaven.

[@smeenasiddiqui7464]

You both have lots of other places to travel. With all due respect...who has the time to see the world. Thanks for the priceless video made. 2024 best wishes.

[@pinkiesmum]

What a lovely trip and how smooth and logical everything was. I am always amazed by the fact that Joerg loves to eat and remains so thin! Keep it going x

[@terriestapley5475]

Thank you so much! It's truly special to see one's family.

[@deborahsoule9698]

The German pastries look so delicious! I still miss those bakeries. Every little corner bakery had better bread than you can get practically anywhere in the U.S. It was nice seeing Kirsten's mom and lovely garden and I look forward to meeting Joerg's mom!

[@KirstenJoerg]

So glad you enjoyed it Deborah!

What’s your small village? Having lived in some small villages as a child and now again but in Germany, I have come to appreciate that every “Little Village“ is unique and special… :-)

[@tammywhatley910]

@@beccismith4454 I haven't lived in a small village. I do live in the US and have lived in small communities. I have never been to Europe but I love the quaintness of the small villages in these videos.

[@janicepainter9512]

@@beccismith4454 It is a small farm town in Ohio. There is a small restaurant and a library and post office. There is a park where the community plays baseball. A beautiful little church with stained glass windows , also a fire station which hosts a lot of events like BBQ dinners, Halloween and Christmas parties. Santa comes parading into town on a big fire engine. Lol They also have Mother's day flower sale. There's also classic car shows up and down main street. We were charmed the minute we saw the town.. We live in an old Victorian home and have really enjoyed renovating it over the years.

[@donnaoberdorf750]

I have to tell you that when you showed the bakery my mouth started watering! How I miss those German bakeries. I was trying to think of my favorite pastry but had such a hard time, I love it all! But my favorite street food has to be Nurnberger bratwurst. I would gladly give my right hand for a month in Germany.

[@ms.alrashed4379]

I'm really astonished about the facility of a tunnel travelling thing 😍 It's amazing. Love Germany with its Gothic architecture, and you're so special lady, I admire your way of living life.

Love this, saw the last one and still interesting. Thanks, homesick for Germany, but very very luckily a new bakery just opened in my little U.S southern town that is owned operated and run by a German baker!!!!! Looking forward to your next video.

[@AnnaMaledonPictureBookAuthor]

Isn't it funny that I've never been to Germany and I'm from Poland? I've been living in Scotland for many years now and share your sentiment for missing pastries from my home country. It's such a sweet idea from your mum to keep your flowers.

[@jkneumann]

Kirsten & Jeorg! Hello or Howdy from Texas. By happy KZbin algorithm magic we had your videos pop up on our feed and tempt us with English delights. The last time we visited England was 2009 and our youngest was only3. She has no vivid memory of it from then but since has fallen for English countryside and villages by way of all the shows y’all mention: Doc Martin, all Jane Austen, James Herriot, Bronte Sisters, Downton Abbey, and Poldark. Nearly all the faves you two mention. All that to say “THANK YOU!” For inviting us into your lives and trips. Lord willing one day she will be able to see all the beautiful sights you have shown her and know them for herself. God bless you both and your traveling!

[@jkneumann]

Oh! Sorry, I meant: Joerg

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much Jennifer.

[@Lynnrazz]

I love that y'all are filming this trip again! Those of us who are across the pond here in the US can't really go anywhere interesting by car...by train, by car... SO COOL!!!

[@irenemathieson4229]

We lived in Germany for 4 years and love it. One of my fondest memories was going to the bakery on Sunday afternoon to buy cakes to enjoy with afternoon tea. Watching your video I could actually recall the aroma that greeted you as you entered the bakery I have never found cakes and pastries as delicious as we had in Germany! We lived in Hamburg and we often took to our visiting friends to Lubeck. The beauty and history makes it a very special, interesting place to share with everyone. I look forward to seeing Germany through your camera. It’s been too long since I was there. (1998) Enjoy your time with family and friends.

[@KirstenJoerg]

So happy to hear that you had a lovely stay in Germany. We love Lübeck as well and have family there, my mother lived there.

[@Lulu-ue2lj]

I’m so happy for you getting to go to Germany 🇩🇪! Thank you for filming the journey, the crossing and the bakery and the little town. So lovely. You didn’t skimp in the details and I love it. I’m glad you have your plants at your sweet mum’s house. The dark color of the back fence makes the plants look even lovelier. What a great design idea. I’m glad you found a print of your hometown. Can’t wait for more!

Loved this " poor man's trip to Germany". I remember the first time I went to Germany as a student in 1969 and discovering "Amerikaner" and "Koelsch" and so many things. The last time I was in Germany was in 2012 and I was impressed back then by the bottle return machines - how easy it was. I love watching your trips - in either country. Now off to bake Zwetschgendatschi!

[@ellen2022s]

Kirsten you always exceed my expectations, I always wait when you are going to present us a new video, and I always end up motivated by wanting to one day know those incredible places, I like them a lot. Thank you for introducing us to your mother, she must be an incredible woman since she raised a woman as special and sweet as you. incredible to know a piece of Germany where you lived. a hug from Mexico.

[@MamieSuperNova01]

Wooo hoooo! I am from Metz and leaving now in London. You remind me so many wonderful memories from home!!! Oh my mouth is watering just thinking about Apfel strudel, schwarzwalder, streusel, stollen,...!!! Have a fantastic time xxx

Great to see you both so happy to be back home! It's lovely seeing more of ordinary life in Germany. I would love to hear more about the food, unfortunately I had no idea what was in most of the cakes you pointed out, maybe you could share that next time. Everything looked lovely and glad the travel went smoothly.

This brings back memories of my crossing the Channel through Euro tunnel in 2018. I had to travel a little further than Germany, but presume it was very much the same route via Belgium, past Antwerp. I preferred channel crossing by the ferry though on my way back and the year after.

Wonderful. Happy for you both. Hope we get to "meet" Joerg's mom. Enjoy , enjoy.

Joerg is a lucky one, who can eat all those sweets and probably not gain a pound 😊

[@littledude5311]

Joerg, and those with similar body types, may be able to eat anything but that doesn’t mean all those carbs aren’t damaging to the body. Sugar chief among them.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Hahah you only see a tiny amount of what we eat and we usually don't eat a lot so this is something special and a treat that we film. We definitely don't have that every day. Joerg doesn't all the time that's for sure and we exercise every day which is very important and part of our lives.

I was thinking that to !!!! Oh to be tall and a man!!! Lol and be able to stuff your face and not gain a pound!!!! cry cry cry !!!!! My favourite place, in Germany is, Aachen, I always vist Charlemagne's Cathedral. There is a very lovely antique book shop, near there. The gentleman who owns the shop is so lovely and some of the books are from 1700. Last time I was there, I bought Snow White and Rose Red, a German fairy story, I loved when I was a child.

Absolutely thrilled for you both that the trip was “on”. I’d say “savour every moment” but “savour every morsel” Joerg as well. I have to say “being an old bird” as soon as Black Forest is mentioned it reminds me of being very little at my late Aunt and Uncle’s house here in Uk and they had a new instrumental record “A Walk in the Black Forest” - very popular in mid 1960s!

Dear Lovelies, your channel(or to be correct, this video)have just been recommended to me via KZbin..and am i thankful! Although i am german, i always since being 16 and set foot for the first time there, counted England/UK as my heart country. For i have been sick for a longer period now i was not able yet to go again, but i missed every way, and besides most of the times just flying over, oh i miss the train. Thank you for showing me, cannot wait to make it back the opposite way than you, thank you for the lovely little video for my pleasure and kind of homesick mind...hopefully you enjoy your time!!♡

@@sbkr4906 I’m sorry, you misunderstood what I was referring to. I realize the euro tunnel has been around for 30+ years.

That was the fascination I was referring to.
