Don't blame me!!!

Crikey .... you asked for it so DON'T BLAME ME!!!!!

I tried to stay awake but, fair dinkum, how could I??????????

Our first day in Germany was spent here at Bad Kreuznach. Watched young people carrying on an old tradition of boat jousting. A lot of fun was being had by all.

So many churches.  This one was a bit different though!!  No way that one will fall day. Build your house upon the rock was a song I learnt in Sunday school. This was taken literally, aye??

At Brugges in Belgium.  Beautiful city.

Colmar in France. So many flowers!! Beautiful.

Colmar.

Colmar.

More Colmar.  Very picturesque with all the flowers.

Looks like you in your young days, aye, Mr JF Sir.

You can see the window with the people and JRT if you look closely.

All the churches had their harvest offerings. This one was particularly beautiful.

Neuschwanstein castle. Beautiful. We have seen it before on sunny days. Nice to see with a bit of cloud around.

Hmmmmmmmm!! You Scottie blokes are everywhere, aye??  Mittenwald in Germany.

Reminiscing!!  A small guest house we stayed in many years previously. The same people owned it and remembered us. We were welcomed with open arms, kisses and hugs. They bought out an atlas in which, on the map of Australia, I had written places they were to see if they ever visited Australia. It was strange to see my handwriting in that altlas after all those years. Their son was 5 the last time we were there. He is now 15 and huge. We saw him again. HE didn't remember us. I wonder why??

Well I love cows and these two were just so lovely.

The view from our guest house in a little town in Bavaria.

Taken from the window in our room.

The little golden roof in Innsbruk.

Ettal cathedral.

 Oberammergau. One of our favourite villages. Home of the passion play. Performed every 10 years since the 17th century. Beautiful painted houses everywhere. Very pretty place.

Hotel Wolf in Oberammergau.  The owners  hold seminars and dog training weeks. You stay in the hotel with your dog. There are facilities behind the hotel for training. Agility, flyball, all sorts of things. Here's where you can find them. It's worth a look.   http://www.hotel-wolf.de/   I wanted to do it but I think the plane trip and quarantine laws would kill our Charlie boy.

Coming out of Hotel Wolf. This was a VERY well behaved boy.

Mmmmmmmm.  Paul Newman????  Trying to look like a German.

How good does this bloke look??

We stumbled across a happening in another of our favourite villages. Dinkelsbuhl.

I honestly don't think this bloke was dressed up for the happening. I'm sure he dresses like this all the time and how good did he look???

Wertheim.  We took our Jen here when she graduated from Uni. We told her it was where Diagon Alley in Harry Potter was filmed. She believed us.  We have since put her straight.

Very cute half timbered house in Wertheim.

We took this as we took the same photo ten years previously. We didn't have poo bags in Australia in those days. We do now. Wertheim castle in the background.

Crikey ..... Is that the SAME person pinching poo bags!!

BORING, AYE!!!!!!   As I said ... DON'T BLAME ME!!!!!!!!

Wanna run ....   Love, Charlie.
