Welcome to

Life is Like a Roll of Toilet Paper ....

the nearer the end....

the quicker it goes.

23 September 2013 - Our Trip

 
Monday, 23 September - 0600 wake up call!  Suitcases outside the door by 0640.  We were beginning to get used to the drill....breakfast and on the departing bus by 0720.  We ride along the Romantic Road through villages protected by medieval tower gates, squares of half-timbered houses and richly decorated fountains.
 
 


Ilka - our guide with her ever-present yellow umbrella!






Such beautiful lace!  This one is of the town...I could have spent hours in this shop.













A sad memorial to a tragic time.

Back on the road, we travelled into southern Bavaria for a tour of the legendary Castle of Neuschwanstein.





As we stood in line for lunch, our son Larry texted us to be sure to enjoy some schnitzel - so that's what Lar ordered.  It was very good.

It was absolutely insane the number of people crowding onto this little bridge....and the moment came when many realized just how crazy it was - leading to some extra wild pushing and shoving, I clicked a couple of quick pix and got off!



No photos allowed inside, sorry to say...but a couple of shots out the windows.




 Travelling once more a few more miles into Austria for an overnight in Innsbruck.
