Day 54 Church Views

Sunday Mothers Day 13/05/2018 Karma Bavaria Schliersee Room 210 (11 SZ)

A message from Tim started my day on a good note...Home breaky, however John did offer to take me out for Mother’s Day, but as I only eat so little it really wasn’t worth it.

We managed to get through to Johns mum with Kerry at her place so good to talk to them. Kerry is on some other treatment for her rheumatoid arthritis, she has responded well. We got to talk to Mum and Dad both look well, although Mum said it’s the coldest she has been for years.

Trying to get my Blog updated and finished has become a bit of a challenge, but I must keep going as I started something I must keep on track.

So taking our time this AM finally got my blog updated, and we even put the washing on, so bonus.

After that we headed to have coffee at the local bakery, which was lovely then onto look at the local church... Before we set off where we had been sitting, there was a sign above the lovely old door that was written 1527-1977 we weren’t sure what it meant or if the door was that old, but sure made it interesting... also as we wandered around all the doors around had chalk numbers written in them all,each group of numbers started with 20 then had other numbers near it... it was intriguing and we still don’t know what it all meant...

So onto the cemetery, in itself it was just so well organised with lovely flowers growing on the graves, unique interesting metal grave maker, you can’t call it a head stone cause it’s not a gravestone as such. Once inside oh my goodness, how ornate is this church, unreal to see how much opulence has been used... being from the Protestant side of Christianity where we focus on the risen Lord, the Catholic religion still has so much focus on the crucified Lord... and all the bright gold and paintings everywhere... in one way I found it Gordy in another way I found it fascinating... such a mixture of emotions. But worth coming to see for sure... the piped organ would be unreal to listen to.... I was going to go to church, but found that the times wouldn’t work in...so I am still here to see this unreal building just not while the service is occurring.....

From here we made a b-line up the small Hill, not far from the big church... only finding the path up to Hill to the church was a bit of a challenge in itself, but eventually we found the path, once uo there turns out there are a couple of paths. As we wander around the church side and come out to the lake side the views from here are just stunning... there is a man sitting on a seat just taking in its majesty... his wife was looking at this gnarled old tree, she eventually went to sit with him both taking in the peace up here and the amazing views over the lake... the old tree had some information in it, we tried to translate it with google translate but to no avail... we assumed the tree must be a few 100 yrs old from the look of it and from the little we could work out from the story in German... the church sadly is locked with only one door 🚪 into it. But there is a little bared up window you can see into it, however the reflection from the outside did hinder the visibility badly to get a good clear look or take a good clear picture, but what we could see was interesting!

We too took in the serine sights for a short time, before hearing back to the resort. So many if the shops an$ houses hav such interesting Knick, Knacks either around their homes, at the doors and entrances and the painted traditional pictures either high on the front wall or above the doorway....

Back home a little rest, then down to use the jacuzzi again, John stayed longer I came back to finish my blog from the last 2 days as still no complete... I had all morning and after we got back been trying to contact Mum for Mother’s Day, but no answer... even tried to get a Jill to get them to pick up but no luck, so have to try again tomorrow.... after I had been to the jacuzzi I see they had tried to call, but as it was now 12 midnight I thought I had best not try them again.... they said they are always out so guess that was the case today.

It was info night again here at the resort a week has last by very quickly since the last one, so we head off to here the tale again... One of the Sales guys Gareth is doing it tonight, so much shorter than last weeks... He introduced himself as one of the Concierge’s here, hmmm interesting way of introducing themselves, mind you they do assist in local info how to get to and from sights, events in etc... but the guys as great as they are their main job is to sell you the Karma experience by upgrading... that is something we aren’t interested in doing and yes it does bug them even if they say it doesn’t... it does, every so often a little dig is bought into the conversation about it.... ohh well that’s just how it is...

Another interesting cheese night, chatting to new members them asking how it all works and John not holding back let’s them know, with one if the young very nice Concierge’s with us... really not our place, but they will realise soon enough that it is about upgrading, but you can still use it to your benefit. I keep telling the sales team they need to employ us after all our experiences... ha ha ha! I don’t think they would agree we are too honest for them...

So no dinner just cheese again, I was careful to have other bits with the cheese at least I could here, didn’t want to be sick from just cheese again... interesting conversations occurred during our time sitting with them all, met 2 young Aussie girls from Melb, the couple we chatted to were from the Goldcoast, plus there about another 3 other Aussie couples in this new lot of guests... The guys all said they felt it was an Aussie invasion, they are all Welsh or from England and one Greek... along way for Australians to come, so they must be doing a big sell to get so many....Still it’s worth coming to this beautiful end of the world... just wandering around the village this morning the peacefulness of it is so siren it’s hard to believe. Guess this will be our last time here, but each visit has had a memorable experience for us... as the guys put it a Karma Experience...... their motto ha ha!Read more
