Day 56 Yes we do stop!

Tuesday 15/05/2018 Karma Bavaria Schliersee Room 210 (13SZ)

Today is a rest day, of doing very, very little... we got up later had our breaky... tried once again to contact mum and dad, let Jill know yet again if she could call them and tell them we are trying to contact them... headed down the street for a cuppa, called Jill again this time a video call, yep she told the, but it could be 1 of 100 things that he has done to his phone that now we can contact it... so with that a chat to Jill, finished our cuppa and headed home.

I made lunch in today, took all day to edit my pics to get them up. Headed down for a Jacuzzi but when I got there, there were about 20 little children and their mums... the children were having a swimming lesson. I could see me getting into the very noisy Jacuzzi wouldn’t be looked on favourably by those sitting there... So back to the room did more pics... John had a snooze...the day has past us and we head off for the Pizza and Skittles with a fun group of people... about 8 Aussies, 6 Indians, 4 Brits and the 6 from the Karma Team... it was a great night lots of laughter and joking with each other..

It becomes so different when strangers from many nations come together, there is something special about times like this and somehow a sport can do that, it breaks down barriers putting you all in the same level of equality and unity.....we stayed behind after everyone left with staff member Gareth, his wife Esther and their little son Leopold 9 months old, Avalon and his wife Linette who are from Goa India, he works in Dubai has for over 12 years. We had actually seen this couple on the train going into Munich yesterday so it would seem..... them and their 14 yr old daughter as well with them here on holiday. she had played skittles but like all teens didn’t hang with the oldies after the games was done.

I told Linette I would contact my good friend Lenette to let her know I had met someone with a similar name...
Again like last week we had an interesting conversation with people from different walks of life, it’s what makes life interesting chatting to people from other cultures and interests.

Then back up to the bar for one last drink 🍷 before heading to bed... that’s when I met the Marketing Manager, what an interesting character he was... when I say interesting I mean a different interesting... but it takes all types to make our world. He must be very good at his job for he has been with the company for over 25 yrs... so would know it inside and out! Again interesting conversation from another person of different culture and interests.... it’s been enlightening talking with so many different people from different cultures, yet one common thread... travel interests!

Enough chat so off to bed...Read more
