The Black Forest

July 30th... Beginning the day in Baden Baden, I looked out my hotel room in the morning at the beautiful town.


After a morning stroll and some breakfast, we took off for a drive through the Black Forest.
We went to the Open Air Museum http://vogtsen.land-in-sicht.com/index.php






It is a very beautiful place.


Here I am playing in the kitchen. Cooking on the stove and making some butter.


I thought I should weigh myself incase I gained some weight from all the eating I have been doing.

I went to check out the carriage and get the pitchfork to muck out the stalls.


OMG!!! I guess I shouldn't have been playing by the saw!!!
We drove on to Staufen to find a hotel.

After all that excitement, it was time for bed!!!!
July 31st.... Black Forest and then on to Zurich
It was a beautiful day!


You can see the view from our room.

Once we got up and had breakfast we took a walk to the ruins.



You can see the ruins in the background


All the way up to the ruins, there were many grapevines growing.




Looks YUMMY!


Mocha, what are you thinking?????




Well, it doesn't say no Bear poo.


After we left Staufen, we went through the Black Forest again.




This time we went to the Clock Museum. http://www.deutsches-uhrenmuseum.de/




Mocha, don't touch!!!!!


After the clock museum, we drove to Triberg.




Here I am at the waterfall. http://www.triberg.de/


After the waterfall, we drove to Zurich to stay the night.....

Traveling from Canada to Germany

Because we were going to miss Bob's birthday, we celebrated early.


This is Bob and I with his birthday TimBit.

The next day we left for the airport. It was a 3 hour delay!!!


Luckily I could relax, listen to some music or watch a video.
Once we finally got on the plane, I realized that Business Class travel is the only way to go



After getting our rental car, we took off for Baden-Baden.


Riding in a Mercedes!
I drove on the Autobahn!!!

ZOOM


160 kph (or 99.42 mph)


I found a dog for Bob, isn't she cute?
After our dinner, we took a walk and went to bed at 5 p.m. and slept until 3 a.m.
