Well we finish the last few days in Lovely Brugge(first six pictures from bottom up are Brugge), with our Great friend Val from Ireland who flew over for a few days, and travelled into Germany with us 2 a nights. It was great to be with someone who used to live in the country for 12 years and educated and helped us out with German.
We drove down to the Rhine where we stayed a night in a great place that Val had found, and it was fantastic, with all kinds of exotic birds roaming around in the garden area. There were also 2 workshops going on there so they were a little concerned we might find it odd, but we just laughed for it seemed so normal to us with the different workshops we have taken and assisted at with Clearmind.
It was great fun and a very peacful place to stay. Of course one can't go to Germany without experiencing the traditional Beergardens, we had to stop for a cold one. We went to a lovely village on the way the next day dropping Val off in Frankfurt before we contiued on to Rothenburg and then Fussen.also Borys,s father place of stay after the war in Garmisch - Partenkirchen.
Germany had many qualities of areas of Alberta, in the Prairies as well as the Rockies, very diverse beautiful land scapes from Pastoral to Mountainess, and valleys with beautiful little German/Bavarian styled homes. Germany is so Picturesque.
We Had a very special Occasion to spend while In Germany. It was Addi' 10th Birthday!!! We had picnic and cake and gifts at the bottom of the hill looking up at Neuschwenstein Castle, one of Germanys most famous castles, built by King Ludwig II. Although we did go into this particular castle the next day after leaving beautiful Fussen going to another part of Germany, we did go to his over the top opulent palace (Lindhoff) that he created , and lived there for most of the time as a recluse in all his gold and silver, but not a happy guy.
Germany is a Pretty amazing place, Addi says he like the German & flemish language the best and wants to learn it, Natalias, vote is learning French.
The Romantische strasse(Romantic Road) ended in Fussen and we picked up on to the AlpenStrasse which starts at lake Constanse (Switzerland) and ends in Bertchesgaden (?!) this led us nicely towards Austria. See you there very soon, for the end of the trip..........
