Germany

Owen

We arrived in Germany on Tuesday, but haven't been able to find a usable internet connection until now. We're staying at Mount Schoenstatt in Vallendar. Everything is very green here as well, the weather seems to be just as wet as Ireland normally, but no rain yet.
German kezboards are verz hard to tzpe on, since the Z and Y kezs are switched around! So the top row is "QWERTZUIOPÜ*"  And all the symbols are placed differently as well.
The Family Shrine

It's now Thursday afternoon, and we've just finished a tour of Schoenstatt, which extends over a large area. Australia has only 2 Schoenstatt shrines, but so far in two days we have visited 6 out of 12 in the area.

Thank you all for your continued prayers and comments!

Hey troops. My last post failed on me - operator error no doubt. Looks like some beautiful places in Ireland and Germany that you're exploring. Suddenly our idyllic Sunshine Coast seems a bit ordinary!
Lea and Dale's wedding was great last weekend; lots of hilarious and heartfelt speeches, and a couple too many drinkies. Chels and I will be back in Brizzy this next week while I'm at the RiverSymposium, so will hopefully catch the family again then.
Enjoy the rest of your travels!

Thanks for keeping up the travel news. We've been looking up the maps of your travels - we might ride through some of the European places next week.

Still hope to catch up with you somewhere in Italy.
