John has reached his final destination in Melbourne, Australia... St. Patrick's Cathedral..... just the type of place he would have visited.....
many times john wandered the streets of a city...turned the corner and suddenly there was an awesome cathedral at the end of the street...




 this face is just the type of unique detail that would have caught john's eye!

 Courtney made a donation and got a candle and lit it just for john 
John is now tucked in the beautiful flowerbed facing the cathedral

Courtney Ann Lee So we started our journey walking to the bus stop- only to find they've changed timetables/routes on us. So we got on the 908 for a few blocks, then got on the 907 to take us into the city. The bus was packed to go into the city and we gave up our seat for an elderly woman and stood the ride in. I'm sure John was a gentlemen and would have approved that too... We took some pics on the ride in. We got off at the Royal Eye and Ear hospital and took some pics on the walk in. We walked around and entered the gate, and walked into the church and took some pics. John and I donated a few gold coins for maintenance of the church, he also thought he should have a candle, so I got him one- tried taking a better photo but an annoying kid kept grabbing my stuff so it was a rush job. We walked back around to where I saw the nice flowers on the side of the church and decided it was time to part for now. I told him to enjoy Melbourne!

John has completed his travels in Israel.....

 The western wall (aka wailing wall) in Jerusalem
many leave notes and prayers in the wall, John is now resting among them

Michael Wellish Said: We went to Jerusalem, walked to the Old City, left some ashes in a little plastic wrap at the Western Wall, then followed a tour group over to the Mount Olives and sprinkled the rest around some graves there. My phone dies before that. Forgot to charge it last night.

John once swam in the Mediterranean sea.. on his trip to Italy... here is one of HIS pics from this blog of the spot in Monaco....

John said: If you ever get the chance... I recommend you swim in the Mediterranean sea...

Now he is swimming there once more... this time in TURKEY... the bay of Fethiye






Pauline Constantine Said:  Laura, my daughter, scattered them in the bay of Fethiye - it was lovely..... xxx
