Castles, Hallstatt and Salzburg

August 4th


From Munich we drove to see Neuschwanstein (the gray one) and Hohenschwangau (the orangish color one) Castles






See the castle over my left shoulder?




Here I am right before the tour.

Here I am at the other one!

See it over my shoulder? We sure did a lot of walking today!!!

After leaving the castles, we drove into Austria and went to Hallstatt.

Here I am looking over the town.

August 5th

This is where we stayed the night.

Here I am playing chess.

We went to the Salt Mines, after the tour we got to ride this train back. It was FUN.

After the tour, we went onto a bridge and took this photo overlooking the town and lake.

After lunch we drove to Salzburg.

We went to see a concert. It was magificent.

After the concert, we went to have some beer. Look at me, I am a two fisted drinker!

Munich

Today we went to BMW Werk (World) http://www.bmw-werk-muenchen.de/lowband/com/en/index.html






I think this model suits me, don't you?





The only problem might be seeing over the steering wheel!





After BMW Wert and the BMW Museum, we went downtown (It is summerfest in Munich)



We had a sausage and beer, then headed out to Dachau





In Dachau, we visited the Concentration Camp Memorial Site http://www.kz-gedenkstaette-dachau.de/index-e.html

After a little rest, we decided to take the U into town and get some dinner.

Well, and a drink!

Zurich and on to Munich

Today was a national Swiss holiday so most everything was closed.

I did have a nice time looking at the sites through town.

It was raining when we went out this morning, but the sun came out and it was beautiful.

Here I am meeting a new friend, Mr. Swan.

Next I took a photo with some bells, then the owners wanted a photo with me too.

I ran out of clothes, I hope the laundry finishes soon!!!!

We had a nice dinner in our room.

Sorry, Mocha had a bit much to drink when we weren't looking.....

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.....

ZZZZZZZ

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.

I went to the barn and met Chili.

I got to ride Storm.

On the 26th we flew to Canada and hung out with Marilou.
