Austria


Austria made me fall in love with history. When I walked the halls of the Schonbrunn, 

I imagined the lives that had gone before. I was inextricably drawn to the story of the 

people who lived and died here. The legacy they left is undeniably riveting.

Schonbrunn Palace, Vienna

Hearing the stories of the people who walked the halls of this place, 
left me in awe of the people who paved the way for the world we live in today.

Prague, Czech Republic


"Prague is a threshold between life on earth and heaven, 
a threshold much thinner and narrower than anywhere else on earth"
Gustav Meyrink

When you visit Prague, you can enjoy the largest castle complex in the world.
Founded in 880, this UNESCO world heritage site is a wonder to behold.


Prague, a memorable symphony of history and beauty!

Germany


After changing our plans in Uganda, we opted to add a week through Germany, Prague and Austria.

We travel not to escape life but for life to escape us!

Marienplatz, Munich

After landing in Zurich, we promptly caught the train to Munich 
for an overnight stay on our way to Prague. Just a 3 - 4 hour train ride away!

Whaaaattt!

When traveling in Australia it is common to travel that far and still be in the 
same State so Europe has a certain appeal that just does not compare.

The allure to hop from country to country is incredibly intoxicating.
The world truly is within reach when you are on the other side of the world!

Return to Uganda

Finding myself at the end of a much awaited project, 
with the anticipated outcome unexpectedly paused.

I found myself fortuitously heading back to Uganda, 
this time to meet sweet little Ruth.

Because, a chance not taken is an opportunity missed. 

When one door closes, another door opens. 
Just keep moving forward!

In Trishelle's office

I spent my days preparing lessons, creating school flyers, running a teacher training session and 
being constantly in awe of all that is being achieved here. From little things, big things grow!

Sponsorship is a privilege - an opportunity to partner with organisations impacting lives for eternity.

Daddio ... glad to have him along for the journey.
