Background: This trip has been in the works for a long time. Mark's parents decided to take all of their children and spouses (plus Hugo) back to Europe in celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary. We will spend the majority of our time in Germany and Switzerland, but we will also have stops in France, Austria, and Liechtenstein.
(Traveling with a baby, we were super busy and had to change the format of our journal entries a bit for this trip. We are also ridiculously slow in actually getting these posted!)
Travel:
- We flew Icelandair so we had a layover in Iceland. We set foot on the ground! The weather was blustery and cold.
- Rekjavik airport is interesting...treat you a bit like cattle when preparing to board a plane
- None of us got more than a couple hours of sleep - Hugo included
Travel to/Arrival in Garmisch
- Flew into Munich, Germany and got set up with rental cars.
- Mark's first driving experience in Germany - very happy and loved the scenery while driving! Mark's mom rode with us.
- Drove from Munich to Garmisch, just under 2 hours
- All the houses and buildings are like Boehm's chocolate chalet
- Mountains are super close like in Provo - but way more beautiful
- Airbnb is super nice - 5 bedroom loft with individual showers in each bedroom. Right in the center of town
- Walked to the grocery store to get breakfast items
- Went to Alpenhof restaurant for dinner with Carolyn and Dave- super delicious!
- Mark got Hungarian goulash with spaetzle
- Liz got some fish filets on top of some housemade ricotta lime ravioli
Observations
- Traffic lights turn yellow before they turn green to advise you that the light is about to change. This is so efficient and it should be implemented in the US!
