Billy what sort of police parade would have a fake crime scene set up with pink vomit??? You were right to be nervous!

Sharon Hi Al - lovely to read about all your adventures, and that you are having such a great time. really looking forward to hearing how you celebrate your b'day this weekend!!!! cheers to you and Dan. Sharon

Cathi hey Alli we met some backpackers from Belgium at Oodnadatta, in the middle of nowhere, doing in Aus what you are doing there. They live 45km from Brugge. They wer telling me what you can do there but its too late you hsve left.

Cathi Hi Alli, Luxembourg sounds very dodgy, different from when we were there, maybe our caravan park was in a classy area. just keep safe with those dodgy people!

oliver gotta love the travel diet...beer provides the carbs for sustenance and walking around, and the rest of the time there is so much to see you forget to eat

Cathi Hey Alli, are you leading our friends astray with late night clubbing????

Lara Ali, sounds like a great time :-) I am enjoying keeping up with your travel adventures....or should I say drinking stories!! !hehe Where to next?

Cathi We had the same feeling at Dacchau - a beautiful warm day but you feel cold. On a lighter note the Hofbrauhaus beer hall still sounds the same - beer, pork and did they give you sauerkraut? yuk for sauerkraut! Keep away from dodgy locals!

Billy Hmmm..... what have I told you about hooking up with the locals Al? God Dachau would have been sad but I agree I cant imagine anything more haunting than the killing fields or the S21 prison with blood still staining the floor of torture rooms :o( Glad you were able to balance out the horror with good food an beer! Jealously yours! Bill xxxx Oh PS Bella and Emma say 'Miss you Al!!!!'

Billy Your map reading skills must be as good as mine love! Sounds magical - you have a good way with words Al... I cant imagine government policy writing had anything to do with it...... Keep writing!!!!!

Billy Oh Al that all sounds amazing!!!!! If it wasnt for my three gorgeous children I would be flying over to join you I think!!!! Fortunately for the kids they are cute :o) Keep us up to date!!! XXX

Alli We won't get fat even with beer and bratwurst. In 2 weeks we've walked so far we have both worn big holes in the inner thigh of our jeans and had to buy new ones!! Yep ma I did know brothers Grimm were our relatives

Cathi Hi Alli, just saw Dan's photos and we recognised the tower at Bad Wimpfen and we have the same photos so we have been to your fairytale land!!! Did we ever tell you that the Brothers Grimm who wrote fairy tales are your ancestors??? They came from Germany too. We probably didn't tell you as you know what bad parents you have!!!

Cathi Hey Alli, I've just had 2 days in Canberra and it was beautiful so I do think it's colder there!!! About that big wine barrel - a week!!!! I'm sure you could do it much quicker!!!!!

sharon Won't get fat with all that walking and hiking and pretending that they're moutain goats!!!! keep em coming....loving reading about your adventures!!
