Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Nov

We’ve had friends from Bavaria staying for the last few days. Last night we camped in the bush and a possum and a woylie came to visit. I’ll write about them later but today we took them to the farm where I grew up. My cousin...

Has this seed pod just heard joke of the week?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Nov

We went for a walk at Lesmurdie Falls. Lesmurdie is a suburb of Perth and the falls are pretty insignificant really. But we had a pleasant time with our two Bavarian guests. The first people we met there were also from Germany....

We’ve been away for a week and without internet so I’m well behind with discussions, responses and comments. We had intended to be away a bit longer but some friends from Bavaria have made a sudden decision to come to Perth so...

Karma and a fairytale castle

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Apr 19

I’ve managed to put a photo on my previous post thanks to JJ’s advice (@myklj999). This photo is really small too but hopefully you’ll enjoy it. In 2015 we bought an old motor-home in Ireland and lived in it for five months. We...

marcyaz @Marcyaz (35316) • United States 9 Mar 16

When I was a young girl my family belonged to the Bavarian Club, they needed children to do a traditional German folk dance called the Schuhplattler. I hope I have spelled that correctly. We would meet and learn the steps and...

The Passion Play of Oberammergau

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 11 Dec 15

I've written recently about the wood-working museum in the town of Oberammergau in Bavaria in south-west Germany. The painted houses are intriguing and the Italian café there makes a very nice banana split. The church of St Peter...

While we were travelling through Bavaria in south-west Germany, we found ourselves close to Oberammeragau and decided to visit. I already had a tiny wooden nativity scene which a friend had brought back for me a year or two...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Dec 15

From the 'church on a hill' which I wrote about last time, we went on to the 'church in a meadow'. The church is located in the foothills of the Alps in Bavaria, south-west Germany. 'Wiese' is German for 'meadow'. My ancestors are...

When we were touring in our motor-home we stayed in the south-west of Bavaria in Germany. Our couch-surfing host, who we'd never met before, insisted on taking us on a guided tour the day after we arrived. We visited three amazing...

Honouring the Dead

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Dec 15

Mid-July we were heading to Oberostendorf. Some may remember that we have hosted couch-surfers in Western Australia. These are mostly young folk who might be travelling and come to stay for a night or two. They are happy to sleep...

Has anyone travel to Germany over the holidays? I have reltives there but have never been. I live in Toronto and wonder if anyone knows the area or could recommend cheap flights to Munich?

Have you been to Europe?

Mommamea @Mommamea (1215) • United States 30 Oct 06

Europe is my home away from home. The most beautiful place to visit. I spent 4 years there and have never found a place so laid back and peaceful. Traveling from Country to Country was easier than traveling from one state to...
