Icy, let me know if you find a bathroom with the 3 seashells. I've wondered about it for a while now.

Heading back to Frankfurt tomorrow, Nics, to return our hire car and fly home on Wednesday, with a stopover in Hong Kong.

We´ve had a great time even though the weather has been cold and rainy all the month we`ve been away. I think we´ve had the same kind of weather we left behind when we left Sydney.

The relos have been feeding us as if we were a cpl of hungry chicks. I won`t be able to look at food without feeling queasy for quite some time lol.

I`m really missing home now and looking forward to getting to familiar things.

I'm cool with right hand drive now I'll have to adjust to left-hand when I get back.

There'll be lots to catch up on, Jilly, there hasn't been a skerrick of news from Australia here. 

They've accommodated a lot of Asylum Seekers here even in this small village near Bayreuth, just outside of the Czech border.

There was some news here that many Euro countries have now had to close their borders because of the hundreds of thousands of African economic migrants flooding in.

We must really look at the root cause of this movement as many of these African countries have been raped, pillaged and murdered by the millions by their very own people they elect, the despotic warlords and military juntas.

Pouring money (aid ) into these countries, which prospered and thrived for centuries  without it,  has done a lot of damage and the real help would be something like an army of volunteers protected by the UN to help with water and crop advice, there's just not enough done to lift these people out of the hell their leaders have visited upon them.

No education, no skills, no European understanding of that culture, it's a catastrophe just waiting to happen like the no go  Muslim ghettos  in France and UK.

>> #18: There was some news here that many Euro countries have now had to close their borders because of the hundreds of thousands of African economic migrants flooding in.

Technically it's now illegal for EU countries to close their borders to other EU nationals (a source of increasing political controversy in the UK - see links below). But the UK is under increased siege again from non-EU migrants trying to smuggle themselves illegally into the UK (from the French port of Calais - what's so terrible about France?).  A transport strike in France has led to a backlog of stationary lorries, in or on which the immigrants try to hide themselves, hoping to be transported incognito into the UK via the tunnel under the English Channel:

UK public opinion is hardening. UKIP (UK Independence Party), the fast rising anti-immigration, anti European Union party, scored a large increase in its percentage vote in the recent UK general election:
