Full circle

Sit­ting in the frank­furt air­port wait­ing for our plane. For­tu­nately the flight only takes 2 hours and 5 min­utes. 1:45–3:50. Those cou­ple of hours will seem like 10 hours to us.

Sadly we must leave this won­der­ous land of for­eign lan­guages, strange food com­bi­na­tions and effi­cient train systems.

We will return to this fun adven­ture. That we have already promised ourselves.

And Back Again, to Frankfurt!

Yes­ter­day after post­ing, we wan­dered around this won­der­ful place (Baden-Baden) some more, and caught a bus to the edge of town, where we took a funic­u­lar (a funny lit­tle car up a steep track on a moun­tain, like the one we took to the salt mine in Hall­statt. This one took us up a moun­tain called Mürker, where it was so windy we could barely believe it. We took some shots from up there, but like much of the weather we’ve had, it was pretty grey and cloudy. We walked around the top of the moun­tain, played on a playground

Baden-Baden

Last time we checked in, we were in Switzer­land, on our way to the Füri­gen Fortress — it took us a while to find it (I sup­pose that´s the point of a hid­den fortress carved into a moun­tain), but we did even­tu­ally. We got to wear Swiss Army coats (big long grey wool), which delighted Brian to no end. Per­son­ally, I just found it… heavy. The fortress itself was pretty cool — we got to aim giant machine guns out the side of the mountain.

Eat your heart out, Jay.

Our time in Switzer­land was short — We would

Random Oktoberfest

Some ran­dom octo­ber­fest shots off the iphone. Spend­ing time on the train allows us the oppor­tu­nity to show off some ran­dom shots we have taken along the way. This is from Munich at oktoberfest.

Parking

I think if you click on the pic­ture it will get big­ger. Now THIS is how park­ing needs to be done. Yes, that is a smart car parked between two small hatch­backs. Only the back part of the car was barely on the side walk but not enough to bother pedes­tri­ans. North Amer­ica, take note and imi­tate. Please.

Bril­liant!
