SYLVIA BAKER'S LETTER HOME
OME

Denmark and Sweden
capture fancy of

We are back to camping
again and are now at Helm.
stadt, Germany. Before we left
Berlin we crossed into the east-
ern sector again, this time we
went by a different route.

I gained a different impres-
jsion of the Russian Sector and
am glad that we went back. The
area we were in consisted
mostly of apartments, not new
ones, but at least they were all
in one piece. The purpose of
the second excursion jwas to
see the Triptow, The Russian
War Memorial park. The park

- and memorials were magnifi-

cent, it is something the Rus-
sians can really be proud of.

We then went to the Temple-
hof airport in West Berlin and
then downtown where I bought
another six rolls of film. On
the way from Berlin to Helm-
stedt I was a little more obsery-
ant and we passed a number of
East Germans along the road
with machine guns and on the
overpasses above the autobahn
were signes that read “Down
with Adenauer” and “Remem-
ber Korea, fight for freedom.”
The first thing we noticed when
we reached Helmstedt was that
the pole across the road that
acts as a barrier had been brok-
en off recently. It looked as if
someone had been in a great
hurry and neglected to stop
and show his visas and pass-
port. This morning we drove
to Wolfsburg hoping to be able
to go through the Volkswagon
plant and factory, but it has
been closed down for holidays.
The factory is absolutely huge
and it would have been nice
had we been able to go through
it.

We then drove to Hanover
and as we are behind schedule
went on to Belsen, the site of
‘@ concentration camp uring
the war. What a place! There
were no buildings standing as
we had been led to believe,
However we did see huge
mounds of dirt with weeds
growing over them and signs

the sign reaq 5,000! All in
one stave! Apparently the
place was so infected with dis-
fase that they burned it down
and now only the massive
staves and monuments are to
be seen. One of the monuments
has been erected in memory of
the 30,000 Jews that were ex-
terminated there. It was rather
an eerie place to walk through.

We got up quite late this
morning and had planned on
going to Hamburg, but it is

and one half months of wear
and tear. However it was nice
to have showers and toilets at
our disposal even if the showers
were ice cold

Now to tell you a little of
Copenhagen, you would love it,
I know, as there is so much to
do and see. At least we found
our two days there were fully
occupied and we are looking
forward to another day there
when we return from Norway

now, so I have a bit of catching
up to do. From Hamburg we
managed to get across the
Danish border before darkness
descended on us. It is a good
thing we can’t read Danish
because the sign said no camp-
ing or parking. The next day
was beautiful and we had a
nice drive into Copenhagen.
The country is lovely, it is re-
latively flat, very fertile and the
villages are neat and clean. It
was a lot like driving through
the Fraser Valley. To get to
the city we had to take a ferry

flies made of lights. Besides
this there are open air theatres,
restaurants, a lovely dance
floor and an area devoted to
games and rides. One of the
restaurants was especially nice
it was a huge pagoda and was
outlined in lights. We had a
Danish Smorgesbord here and
Schnapps, a liquor, wine type of
thing that is to be taken down
in one gulp.

SEE BREWERY

Yesterday we toured the
city and then went to the Carls-
berg brewery. We heard so

and then it was clear sailing.|much about the brewery from
Copenhagen is simply wonder-| people we had met that we
ful. I am putting it on my list/felt we couldn't miss it. The

tour was very interesting and it
is amazing the number of bot-
tles of beer they produce in a
minute. Later we were taken
to a huge room where they had
tables set out with beer and
pop and told us to sample their
products. Their beer is sup-
posed to be tops, but since I am
not a conniseur of beer it didn’t
taste any different to me.

From there we went down

WRONG SIDE OF ROAD

Sweden—very similar to what
we have seen of Denmark. 1
think I am going to like it a

lot. Sweden is a land where
the cars drive on the wrong
side of the road, well, the left
side the correct
side. ys are going to
find it hard driving for the first

couple of days and have flatly
refused to let us girls navigate,
especially Marg and I who are
the two who often nip off on
side roads for extra trips that
are not in our itinery.

Along the road today we pas-
sed a nearly completed house
with huge wreaths made of pine
boughs swinging merrily from
the rafters. They must have
the same custonf here as in
Germany, When a roof is near-
ly completed, wreaths or Christ
mas trees are erected on top of
the roof and the carpenters take
the day off to celebrate the
completion of *the house.

ceremony. If it isn’t, it should
be. It is a-good name, don't
