The banner in the town square welcoming all the twinners	The crowds start to gather	Now that's what I call a breakfast!	No shortage of takers for the breakfast

View around the Park Fest	As the evening drew on candles were everywhere	The incredible detail of the model railway exhibition	The fireworks finished off the evening

The lovely cathedral in Fulda	Inside Fulda cathedral for the organ recital	The army reservists cooking the pork steaks on the BBQ	How about that for a pork steak!

The afternoon band concert	The magnificent hot buffet	The crowds gathering for the evening meal	Adrian and Peter giving their speeches

The view across the vineyard	Nice choice of wine to taste	Form an orderly queue please!	Its not all for me, honest!
