we then toured Salzburg zoo and another magnificent castle estate before enjoying a meal with a lovely family from Barcelona at a nice Italian resturant, Sam reckons we will have to have snitchel in Rome to make up for it!

  1. Are you going to be OK??? Do you need a tissue??? Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo it is cold! Toughen up fella! tee hee....... I must say though it sounds incredibly cold. Boy - aren't you going to feel it when you come home. Tis a balmy 27 degrees at 5.30 in the morning today and set to be around 35 today! It may be very fortunate that you couldn't book the Bolt Bus. I believe it is shaping up for traffic stopping snow... We will be watching the weather reports though. Hey - Rome will be considerably hot for you in comparison to there. Your photo's are spectacular. Can't believe you had Italian in Austria!
    Lots of love

  4. Hi Guys I forgot to tell you the other thing to try and see in Rome. When you get there you should be able to get a free tourist map of the area and lots of places are in comfortable walking distance. Try to go to the Pantheon, a beautiful huge old church and then a short distance from there is the Palazzo Navona, which was like an open air market with lots of cafe's around it. Love you lots Lynn mwah xoxo

  5. Just about to fly out of Bathurst for home. Looks like you have an appreciation for how I will be feeling for 10 weeks. I wonder if they will just let me wear my sleeping bag. Hey Sam - you must have been in heaven with that shop - the whole display in Orange.....any chance that you purchased something?? I believe that it is this seasons new black!
    Love Alex

  6. hi guys we have just finished our last day in Salzburg, finishing up with a pony and cart ride through the streets and markets of the old town. It is still very cold but apparently it is going to be warmning up after we leave... see dreams really do come true and Sam has had her winterwonderland. She is very contented! ...And yes I bought a silly hat to keep my ears warm! We are currently at an internet cafe so we can't post any photos yet but we hope to tonight. P.S. Sam's savings didn't stretch to buying anything in that shop window because it was a Hermes shop, and the handbag was $5000Euros!!!!!!!!!!!!

    More later love and miss you all, Ralf and Sam XXXXX

  7. Greetings Ralf and Sam, sounds like you are enjoying an amazing trip and will need a holiday when you get home. Sam, is Ralf booked in to see the Pope, as that will take several days to cover his multitude of sins? The photos so far are quite spectacular. Some good news, JP is now a qualified Medium Rigid Truckie and I am on my way to K Mart to buy a blue singlet, or perhaps one of those designer fluro numbers would look the part.All the best and keep safe,
    best wishes from John and Chris.
