Escape


There is little in Hannover. The best is the Herrenhauser Garten and, once I had gotten over the disappointment that “Berggarten” doesn’t translate as Beer Garden, I admit it wasn’t bad. But I have seen better as well. So I was racking my brains, wondering why Hannover would seem so important in my mind when there seems little of note. Then I got it. Of course, with a Homer moment. It’s where our royal family come from isn’t it. I have to admit I have never understood how we ended up with a Royal family from Germany but at least I now know why they left.
