Mr. & Mrs Eilers
1/7/2012
We came to Bonn with the main purpose of meeting old acquaintances, sight-seeing is important but not the priority.
Today we achieved both.
Mr. Eilers (see German visitor), Pauline's former boss, was in Malaysia in December 2011 and paid us a visit then. We mentioned to him about our intending visit to Germany in June and he invited to visit him if and when in Bonn.
This morning at about 11:00 am, we made a brief visit to him and his wife at his house which is near Mr. Heidenriech's house.
We were so happy to meet again and extended our greetings to his wife personally.
In the afternoon, Mr. Heidenriech and wife Irene brought us for a sightseeing trip around his neighbourhood, Rhine river promenade and town square.
Mr. Heidenriech's house is situated about 100 meters from River Rhine.
We visited the prestigious historical Petersberg Hotel which is built on top of a plateau and have a panorama view of Bonn. It is now a hotel for the rich and famous.
Jovial and playful Irene bidding us goodbye2/7/2012
It was a fun and laughter filled 3 days in Bonn.
Mr. Heidenreich and wife Irene were not a day older than they were in our memory. Both are funny and humourous, full of energy. I enjoyed their company and hospitality.
It was the first time I was so closely interacted with them, practically under one roof … staying with them for 3 days 2 nights. I felt comfortable and relaxed.
Besides reminiscing on the old good time of their tenure in Kuala Lumpur, we talked on any-and-every other things on earth … and laughed and laughed and laughed!
Big thanks and appreciation to their generosity and hospitality, and a memory we will cherish for life.
Bye bye Captain F. Heidereich and Lady Irene ….
We boarded the train with a heavy heart and a love-bag full of sandwich, cake, fruits and water specially prepared by Mama Irene for our train journey back to Berlin!
After 4.5 hours of train ride, we were safely in the hand of Dorit and Gerd and their home in Kleimachnow, near Berlin.
A BBQ German sausages dinner was awaiting us! （see pictures at bottom)
Bonn's Cathedral 波昂大教堂
我们在波昂的三天行程，充满乐趣与欢笑。
海德来先生及太太艾玲娜，与我们记忆中的他们，丝毫没有改变。他们夫妻两人都很幽默及情趣，精力充沛。他们的相伴与热情的接待，另我
这是我第一次与他们如此近距离的互动，同在一屋檐下，相处了三天两夜。我觉得非常的舒服与轻松。
除了回顾在他们在吉隆坡工作的数年期间的往事，我们也无所不谈，各种不同的话题，间隔的
就是嘻哈大笑，大笑又大笑！
感谢及感激他们的慷慨及热情的接待，这将成为我们人生中最珍贵的记忆部分。
再见了海德来及艾琳娜 …
带着依依不舍的心情，及一包放满了三文治，蛋糕，水果及水的爱心纸袋，我们登上了火车，挥别往柏林而去。。
四个半小时后，我们回到了温特兰夫妇的家，等待我们的是一顿香气扑鼻的烤德国香肠晚餐！
