Hello, all members of BoundaryGroup. I'd like to
introduce myself:
Peter Hering, residing in a little Copenhagen
suburb: Olstykke.
I've always been mad about borders, especially
tripoints. Up to now, nobody has shown any interest in my "hobby", on the
contrary, my trips to borders all across the world have caused suspicion about
my mental health (that's what some of my family members say - well, I still love
them anyway..)
I have a nice collection of photographs from many
borders and tripoints.
Unfortunately, I do not - yet - have a scanner, so
I can submit these photos to
the group.
Anyhow, I do promise this: very soon after my
return from Holland/Belgium (yes,
I shall revisit Baarle , the
township divided into a Dutch and a Belgian part..)
I'll put my (last) money into a
scanner...
For the next two weeks, soccer
will be my main interest, sorry...! I'd like to draw your attention to a place
called La Cure on the Swiss/French border. For all border
freaks it must be the ultimate dream spending a night in the only hotel:
Hotel Franco-Suisse. This building is partly in France, partly
in Switzerland and the actual border divides a double room. Placing the
double bed in the right position,
you could have your wife sleeping in CH and
yourself in France...- that's what I tried last year .. an unforgettable
experience..
By for now, I'll be back in the beginning of
July..
Regards to all of you
