• Goodbye Europe 🏰 G'day USA 🇺🇲

    July 8, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    Our European holiday is over. We explored just a small part of Europe but have seen so much! It has been wonderful.

    Things will slow down now as we have some time with our family in New Hampshire. Time to relax a bit. We flew to Boston this afternoon and our son-in-law Keith collected us tonight at the airport. Nerissa and the girls are at a Young Women's Camp for a couple of days so we are yet to see them. Tomorrow we have a day of absolutely nothing and will then go to the camp on Wednesday!

    It's almost 4am by our Central European body clock but we are now located in the north east of the USA and it's nearly 10pm.

    We had a free morning in Munich. Having seen the usual sights a couple of times previously we signed up for a "Third Reich and WW2 walking tour". It was fascinating - absolutely fascinating. Our guide delved into Munich’s dark past and we learnt about the birth of the Nazi ideology. We went to sites that provided backdrops to Adolf Hitler and his followers as they set about founding the Third Reich, giving Munich its title as the ‘Capital of the Nazi Movement.’ I wish I could write down all the great stories we heard but I need some sleep!
