By the time we had finished this song we were in Ludwigsburg and are on our way to the palace. We didn’t go to the palace in Ludwigsburg as it cost too much for only 10 minutes or so: 6.50 Marks to enter the grounds. It was nice to see that some people, the Swallows, were on the bus ready to leave on time, 11:20am.

A news update is needed due to the lack thereof yesterday. Andrew is getting better and will be getting out of intensive care, hopefully by Thursday. Stephen will be meeting us today, hopefully. Also his girlfriend, Lucy, is coming here to be with him. Andrew’s of course.

We arrived in Rothenburg and dispersed into the town. The photo is of the famous Christmas shop in Rothenburg.

Today’s Quotable Quotes are:-

"I don’t like drinking pepper." - which was said by Lauren.

Also in Emma’s words, "No, Brendan took the photo today! He gave it to his Mother and she took it."

We had dinner at 6:45pm and it consisted of a 4 course meal. Soup, salad, schnitzel & custard.

Anthony dazzled us with his ability to juggle coasters and end up with the coasters in the tomato sauce bowl. Anthony also demonstrated how easy it is to drink lemonade through his nose.

After the meal was the presentation, where certificates were given out.

And the winners were:

Snowball Pitcher Award	Brenden Millard For the most compact and powerful snowballs on Mt Titlis.
Quiz Master Award	Justin Bartlett For stumping the whole bus with some of your questions.
Superboy Award	Alex Swallow For being the only member of his family not to get sick or injured.

Top Tourist Award	Heather and Robert Pollard For getting up and going to Milan when none of their kids could.

And Jo said her poem. Herbie, the best bus driver in the world was very pleased with his verse in the poem and wished us a "kiss" each.

Most of the band went out into the own after the presentation, either to planet Internet or on the ghost tour. We are happy that there are hair dryers in our bathrooms as they are good for drying our clothes.

Gute Nacht and that is all from Peter & Brendan.

Auf Wiedersehen.

Tomorrow you will hear from the infamous Bartlett family.
