I GIVE UP HILDESHEIM! Yes, you guessed it part of the collection in Hildesheim was closed, just the New Kingdom, the bit I had come to see. Third time lucky I guess. On the up side its a pretty town, lots of internet cafes, the Mayan exhibition that replaced Egypt was magnificent and the Peruvian pottery was indescribably wonderful. Possibly didn`t help that the door to the loo broke and I was stuck and had to yell for help, not a situation one wants to be in when you don´t speak the language. However they broke down the door and all was well. Museum also had a good cafe where I soothed my shattered nerves with pasta in a nice cheesy spinach sauce. Ah well I have seen 2\3 of the collection, and some of that was quie lovely.

Poor Ginny. I hope lunch made up for the problems of the day.
Gosh, that's quite traumatic. Funny how something that would be merely irritating at home, can be very stressful in a foreign environment. Take care of yourself Mum. Maybe you should buy some lockpicks, or a crowbar (-:
Gosh! Yes, embarrasing enough when you speak the language... and no chance of charades to tell them what was wrong because you were stuck behind the door!
Oh, poor Ginny,please take care.
wishing you good luck during this journey.
