Shopping and an Aussie BBQ

It took a long time to arise today, Chris and Kora only getting to bed at 4am so they found it difficult to hop out of bed until after lunch. It was nice to have a lazy morning/arvo though, to relax and just take it easy. We eventually made our way into Trier city centre where we met up...

IKEA detour and back to Germany

Another sleepy day where we didn’t get up until lunch time, I just love these sleep ins, they’re great! Horst and Heidi had gone out when we hopped up but had left the kitchen table set up with a banquet fit for a king and queen. We once more ate until our heart was content and tummies...

Schongau! Current home of Frances, and great location for a commune!

Schongau and the train ride from Munich to Schongau are the stuff that German fairytails are made of! It is a mountainous area covered in lush green vegitation and rivers. The communities along the way all have communal gardens, solar panels and seem to have limited vehicles on the roads. ...

Munich! Beer halls and friendship!

From Koln, we headed South to Bravaria and Munich! We arranged to meet up with our good friend Frances in Munich. We stayed at the Nymphenburg hotel, which by the way has the very best breakfast that we have had so far! Everything that you can imagine and more! Fresh and canned fruit,...

English class with Kora

We had a very quiet day today, sleeping in, getting up and slowly getting ready for our day, or what was left of it! At about 4pm we walked into the city of Trier which took us just under an hour. It was nice to get out, be walking and getting some fresh air. We've been couping ourselves up...

Pancakes with St Mary

As is the norm these days, we had a sleep in before Max came over and we all got ready for our daily outing. Today we decided that we would go up the hill to have breakfast (in fairness it was actually afternoon tea now) by the large statue of St Mary that looks out over the city of Trier. ...

Koln! Childhood Memories....

I spent 5 years living in Koln, from when I was 5 until I was 10 when I came to Canada. Going back was a little strange, I havent been back since I left almost 19 years ago. I was excited if it actually was how I remembered it to be. We stayed right by the Cologne Dome which is a...

Free guided tour of the city

Max and Kora have been able to find a English speaking tour of the city of Trier,and so today, that was our outing. We got up nice and early (it nearly killed us after our many many sleep ins!) and head to the city where we met Max and then the tour group. It was a very large group and our...

We make Max dinner (and Kora too)

A very lazy day today indeed! A huge sleep in, the viewing of various DVDs and then reluctantly getting up to go to the supermarket in order to get the goods needed for our dinner date with Max and Kora. We were unsure what we were going to cook, but seeing as Koras kitchen is a little...

Max make dinner

We had a short day today as we slept in once more until lunch. We have both realised how tired we are and catching up on all this sleep has been really fantastic! We popped some DVDs on and relaxed in bed watching these as the hours ticked by and then decided that as Max was coming over to...
