It's been far too long since my last post, so this is going to be a long one.
I arrive in Weilheim and meet my family! (From left to Right) Here is Manu, Me, Bernhard, Tina and Mona.
The second day I was there we biked some 40 km to Ammersee, a nearby lake! The weather was beautiful, and the water was nice and warm.
Me and Neuschwanstein. The castle is much more majestic in appearance then it is inside, but we had a very fun trip.
The view from the back of castle Neuschwanstein.
Hohen-schwangau, the nearby less majestic castle dwarfed by Neuschwanstein.
Near the end of the Neuschwanstein tour.
Next: trip to Munich! Here is the church in the Marienplatz square. Every day at 11 o'clock little puppets are turned in circles up in the tower to the amusement of the tourists below.
It's a really big church.
On the old Olympic tower in Munich! It's the tallest structure in the city, and behind me you can see the stadium made for the Games in Munich back in the 70s.
We also visited the BMW museum, near the BMW headquarters.
Hiking in the Alps, now! Near the skiing resort of Kitzbuhl (I think that's how you spell it), we had a great view as we hiked.
Gorgeous mountains in the distance.
We hiked to a small Biergarten out in the alps to visit Tina's cousin Sylvia, here seen next to Bernhard and Oma.
It was a fairly long hike from the skii station seen here.
Again, amazing views the camera failed to capture.
And some great Eis afterward!
And the Bavarian countryside is absolutely beautiful.
Bayern ist schön.
I've seen quite a lot of stray cats during my stay in Germany. They tend to wander around fields and then sleep on the tables in Biergartens. Or sneak into Bars.
