Ah that's lovely, I get to finally see that picture of us!
What a great write-up, Nina!
The food was surely amazing but I must admit that I've never really liked Harzer Käse myself and I can't comment on any German cheeses as such but there will be some I'm sure.
Those veggie spreads are lovely, my sister is vegan and gets them, I've not found anything like it in the UK that's as good yet.
And I wholeheartedly agree with your last section! Nicely put! 👍
