This year's vacation was supposed to be a week in Germany together followed
by a week of me travelling around Germany visiting friends while Graham visited
family in Devon, England, followed by a week back together on the Isle of
Wight in England visiting my husband's parents. The plans were well thought
out and meticulous, but events beyond our control caused us to detour from
the plan. The weather was rainy for most of our time together in Germany
and then a medical issue (a serious foot infection) caused me to cut short
my solo tour of Germany and rejoin Graham in England earlier than planned.
Despite the
disappointments of missing meeting two very nice German friends and not
seeing Siegen, Köln, the Zons and Münster, I had a wonderful
time testing my German skills, seeing beautiful places and meeting some
really
nice friends. The rainy German weather and the chilly, damp English weather
have impacted the quality of my photographs which is also disappointing,
but is also a good reason to return to Germany again!
Below
is a brief summary of the major parts of my trip with some of my many
(402!!!) photos. These smaller versions have lost some of their clarity.
I will soon add a link so anyone who wants to see better copies will
be able to see them. |
