About Me

My photo
We are now in Oz after two amazing years of traveling Europe in our home built plane. We met many fantastic people who we are proud to call friends and have gained a much better understanding of the similarities and differences between the cultures of the different European states as well as the history and geography that have lead to these differences. We enjoy meeting people with similar interests to ourselves and learning more about other cultures. Please let us know if you're going to be in Queensland and would like to catch up for a meal and a chat.

Sigulda

Sigulda has a massive concrete bobsled run, which sounds like fantastic fun.  We arrived there by train from Cesis on a Sunday and decided to hide from the rain for the day and read the guide book generously donated by Christian from Bonn in our really very fancy hotel room.  Of course you can only bobsled on the weekend, d'oh!
My bike as it starts to rain.  The moss on this tree tells you all you need to know about rain/humidity in this region!
Sigulda, rain, bobsleds, ravines, castles, rain, 24h liquor and sandwich kiosks, ask a policeman for directions and the one who speaks a little english asks with a sigh 'what happened...', getting lost, cable cars across the gully for more castles and how could I forget the forest, moss, lichen....
