When I entered the small toy shop in Duderstadt I couldn’t hide my excitement. A wee boy, stepping into a different world. My experience of toy shops in East Germany was totally turned on its head at the very moment I walked into the shop. It was the 10th November, a Friday morning, not long until Christmas. It was the morning after the Berlin Wall and the German Border was opened for the first time on the 9th November 1989.
Just in the moment when you seriously question whether it’s you or others that make life difficult, you meet nice people and chat about bikes….
