Nancy and I have been travelling to the other side of the world during the last two weeks. We left Canada on June 17 to fly to Munich, Germany. We had a 13 hour layover there, so we had a guide take us south of Munich to Hitler's Eagle Nest. This is a small building perched on the top of a mountain in Bavaria. To get to the top you take a bus up a narrow one way alpine road. At the end of the road you walk into a tunnel and then take an elevator up 300 meters to the top. There you find a small building containing a lookout and restaurant. The view of the Alps is magnificent.
From Munich we flew to Singapore and then on to Cairns, Australia for a week's vacation on the Great Barrier Reef. For the first three days we stayed in a small lodge in the Daintree Rain Forest. Then it was on to Lizard Island which is a private lodge right on the Great Barrier Reef 150 km north of Cairns. The lodge is rated as one of the top 10 small hotels in the world and we were treated like real VIPs. We had a private suite overlooking the reef with our own private beach. The meals were fabulous, although it took some doing to enjoy roast Kangaroo.
After our holiday it was back in the air to fly to Sydney. I'm doing a week's work here managing the Internet Cafe for Lions Clubs International. This is an annual engagement for me and although it's a lot of work we enjoy meeting friends from all over the world. We head back to Canada on July 2nd,
