Hello,

I sure hope you’re enjoying this trip ‘remotely’ as much as we are in person.

Today’s our last day with Dad & Kim, they had back to the states in the morning – so we headed to Salzburg, Austria (1 hour 30 minute train ride from Munich) to explore!

Keep in mind, Austria famous for being Mozart’s Birthplace, and for the scenes in the movie the “Sound of Music”.

After an awesome time in Salzburg, we headed back to Munich and hit the Hofbrauhaus!

Now, THAT was interesting – feel free to follow along by checking out the photos.

Enjoy!

Hi there!

Today started out with a few train rides – taking us from Rothenburg to downtown Munich!   Even though that sounds fairly simple, it was somewhat exhausting!

As soon as we checked into our hotels, we walked downtown and visited the Residenz Treasury & Rooms.   WOW!

Be sure to take a look at our photos to take your virtual trip through our blog!

Tomorrow, we take the train to Salzburg (Mozart’s birthplace) and then hit the Hofbrauhaus in Munich!

Enjoy!

Wow!  What an amazing place.

Rothenberg is essentially the same as it was a few hundred years ago (at least from first glance)!

We had a great day walking, shopping (dad got a killer hand painted chess kit), and eating!

We toured the Criminal Museum, and saw LOTS of methods they used to use for torture and death… Yuk!

We ended the night at 8pm by taking the Night Watchman Tour, I captured the intro (which is hilarious) and will put it up when we get to our next destination.

Be sure to check out our photos of the day.

Take care,

Charly2, Melanie, Charly1 & Kim

What an awesome day!

We started out in Bacharach…

Today, we:

Guten Morgen!

Today, we’re all in good spirits, even though we’re really sore from the 10+ mile of walking we did yesterday…

For starters today, we boarded the boat and traveled up the Rhine, past the Lorelei to St. Goar.

In St. Goar, we:

Guten Tag!

Well, my dad has learned some German, and wants to share it with you…

Impressive, eh?

Today was absolutely amazing – we started the day with a delicious breakfast (Frühstück auf Deutsch) here at Hotel Am Markt in Bacharach…

We arrived, and it was a great trip over the pond…

We left Fort Myers yesterday at around 1:45pm, flew to Charlotte, NC, left there about 4:40pm, and in a little under 8 hours – landed in Frankfort, Germany!

The flight was great – very smooth, and I got to see that the new Macbook Pro’s really do last 6+ hours, it outlasted me (I watched Yes Man with Jim Carrey) and did a lot of Web Marketing work.

Once we landed, around 6:30am local time (12:30pm Florida time), we caught up with my dad and step-mom, Kim, and hit the Regional Train to Bacharach on the Rhine River!

You can see what we did today by viewing our photos, and videos.

As you might know, I’m headed to Germany for 10 days, and I’m really excited — the best part?

I’m taking you with us!

Yep, you’ll be able to follow us through the web with text, photos & possibly even videos as we explore Deutschland…
