NACHT DER NÄCHTE KIRCHANSCHORING

PICS OF NACH DER NÄCHT
On Saturday night we went to Toms Home town to go to Kati's going away party and then to Nach der Nächte, a night of music organised by the young people of Kirchanschoring. There were 8 bands all in different buildings in the town, even the bakery had a band.
It was such a fantastic night for young and old. I was surprised at how many people were there.

MY 30TH IN ROSENHEIM

The big explosion! I took the giant bottle of champagne that Miri and Dani gave me for my Birthday to celebrate on the train, I think it got a little shook up on the way to the station.The trains are very different in Germany than Australia, drinking alchohol is totally acceptable. After making a big mess of champagne all over the floor the train conductor had a laugh and helped us clean up.
Rosenheim Station 6:30pm.
I decided to celebrate my 30th in a fantastic Pizza restaurant called Losteria in a town called Rosenheim. The food is great and the restaurant has a fantastic vibe that reminds me of home.Tom and Mark.
