Maria & Brett's HUGE Trip 06-07-08-09-?

ok, so the Socceroos lost in 'that' penalty against Italy; Adriatic summers aren't long enough (bliss!); and we found that you should never use the term "Eastern Bloc" when talking to a Czech (Central Europe, please).

Ulm & Herbrectingen

There are [8] photos in this gallery.

Tiem to chill out before the madness of a World Cup Final

The huge 'Munster' cathedral in Ulm. You can see this from almost any point in town. Views[173] Inside the huge 'Munster' cathedral. The sun was peeking through the clouds across the windows high above, lighting these statues for a fleeting moment at a time. Views[190] An old building in Ulm. Views[176] Very old house in Ulm, sinking into the soft soil by the river. Note the angles of the windows to the main structure. Views[243] Watching the game in Herbrechtingen, Schwabia, sth Germany (at Dijana's parents' house) over a nice Croatian lunch. Views[189]
 
Robert (Dijana's brother) and Mig studying the football form before the France v Brazil semi-final. Views[230] Walking through the hills and fields around Herbrechtingen in Schwabia, Sth Germany (where Dijana's parents live). Around the bend we witnessed a young calf being born. Ahhh, city folk in the country! Views[206] Brett and Mig performing 'Kneippen'. Discovered by a physician many years ago, to kneippen is to step into a freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezing pool of water and to exercise the muscles, said to improve the circulation in the body. This pool was next to the road in the village, and cars would pull up and discharge their occupants to perform kneippen for a few minutes before driving away again. Quirky, but a good laugh. And refreshing! Views[211]
