Alas, we went up to the counter and announced our intentions, only to be told that we needed to produce our vaccination cards that we were given when we got our shots way last winter. Luckily, we both knew where those things were, back home in a drawer in Hamburg. So we bailed and went back home, better informed and willing to try again at a later date.
