OK, I've worked out how to write under the picture now, instead of having the first 5 words down the RHS.
As you can see from the picture, today we are girding our lions for the first day's cycling. The hotel in Passau has free internet, so after wrestling for our breakfast with around 20 grim-faced Christians on a retreat, we have retreated to our room to enjoy an hour's emailing at the kaiser's expense.
The lions were actually the Leipzig mascots at Marj's conference, so the team posed with (the) pride on the last day.
Wish us luck as we head off in our new cycling gear to collect our bikes from a nearby suburb. The bags will all be left here at the hotel and we will hope to see them at our first destination, some 50kms down the river, this evening.
Lions AND Christians in the same para..this is too good to be true!
