Knee Breaking Hills and Bavarian Weddings

A bit late in reporting, but just over a month ago (25th June), Martin and Sibylle got married in a lovely Bavarian village close to Wuerzburg called Castell (from the Faber-Castell pens fame). The weather may not have been playing ball during the weekend, but it stayed dry for the most part and a lovely day was had by all.

We also met up with the rest of Martin's family after a very long time, and were able to chat for a while with Ulrike.

The time around the wedding was spent visiting Wuerzburg with the newly married couple, going up to the palace in the bright sunshine and looking out over the city. We also managed a rushed lunch out on the ramparts (well, Kaesespaetzle for some of us, and cake for the rest).

And where does the knee-breaking hill come into this? Well, in order to get to the church one had to go up a pretty steep hill, which was appropriately named (the pub at the base of it also had the same name)...

So an enjoyable time was had by all, a lot of catch-up from the last decade or so, and a great occasion to do it at. So here's to a long and fruitful life together Martin & Sibylle !
