Third stop Germany

The third week into the trip we stopped over into Germany.

Met some pretty amazing people. Krislynne friends were very nice. Krista happened to have a friend that was there during the same time, Christine. I would like to thank these two wonderful ladies again for driving, letting us crash your house and being our tour guides during our visit. It really meant a lot to Krista and I.  

On evening we took a train to another town to experience wine fest, the biggest in the country. This event also included a smaller version of beer fest. It was crazy, so many people.


Cant help but love the old time feel of this country. They still use wood street signs in some areas.

Germany was a nice stop. We stayed at Krislynne place, she is really lucky to have the opportunity to live in a different country. Didn't do the traditional things that people do when they visit here. But we did hit up a lot of castles, churches, sampled wine and sampled local food. 

What else but to do some wine tasting in the cellar of an old castle.

 I'm still amazed how each country has their own unique style of castles. Even the inside of these amazing places are uniquely different. Pictured below is a mix of a few that we had seen.





Fantastic view of the town below, the winery's and the Rhine River. (this is the main river in Germany. It is 527km which is 327 miles)

This is a picture of one of the winery's

Wienershnitzel ( yummy pork chops with fries).

This meal was delightful. This is the Wienershnitzel

Somethings that you will need to try is spaghetti ice
(this is ice cream that is shaped like spaghetti noodles)

Strawberry Spaghetti Ice YUMMY!!


This gem had some really good food. Tried duck for the first time here. I think I could have it again.

The signs here I found to be very funny, soooo I thought I would share.





Sadly this was Kristas last stop. She flew home and my Aunt joined in on the rest of the adventure. My Aunt got off the plane to a nap. When she woke up Krislynne took us to the bus stop and we were off to ............

Vatican City then headed home

As I finish up sharing my trip to Europe, I have started making plans to go to Australia.  Its hard to believe that it has been a year already since my last adventure. I must say a great way of finish up this amazing trip is going to the Vatican . My Aunt and I had purchased our tickets for the museum a head of time to avoid the lines. Highly recommend do this. As we waited for out time to enter the museum, we decided to walk around a bit. We decided to go in to Vatican City. We noticed that there were large crowds forming. Turns out that on Wednesdays that Pope Francis has a papal audience and gives mass . . We decided that you cant come to Vatican City and not see the Pope if he is having mass. There was a few hours before it stat, so we went to the museum. The last supper painted by Leonardo da Vinci The tombs were just fantastic to see, such great detail, telling a story. I snuck of picture of the Sistine Cha...
