Well as I arrived here with Christian and Stephan, the monastery was practiclly empty , compared to what I'm used to. I can exclude one or two monks and an old nun ,besides about another 15 visitors spread through the complex, ah a loudly shouting german grandpa and its nephew.Geez those germans don't have respect for anything!!!
So I was delighted to have the place more or less for myself ,and all of a sudden ....ohhh ...a group of Japanese tourists and their screaming guide in that uncomprehensive language invaded the place.....Looking very interested ,snapping shots all the time ...you know how they are....
