Quality Hotel Konigshof Garmisch-Partenkirchen

... right along the water. I must have been running slow - I was running along the path humming to the Eurythmics, and staring at the mountains in the distance when a little boy whizzed by me on a Unicycle. I'm not sure - but I can't imagine you can go fast on one of those things. I must have been humming loudly, because the little boy passed me, and turned his head fully around and ...

... to be 2km longer though..so not so impressive now, it seems to be melting a bit!
We parked the car, walked around, walked up to the Swarovski viewing area and had a look for food but it wasnt that appetising, so after a visit we headed back off...and down the pass. It was around 3pm by the time we hit Winkel, where we decided food must had and stopped at a Cafe for a pizza, which was pretty yummy! The ...

... br>Oktoberfest.

All in all I was very impressed with
Innsbruck and the Austrians. Everyone I met was very nice and wiling to help me
if they were able to understand English.
Not only do the women love the outdoors and adventures as much as the
men, the majority of them are very attractive. At one point I saw a woman
downhill mountain biking and get about 10 feet of air off a jump. I must say a
pretty impressive feat!

... br>The only way to see the castle was by an organized tour, so we had to wait up at the top for awhile until our tour time-the views were more than enough to keep us occupied. The tour itself was a bit overwhelming-there were about 50 people and our tour guide had a very strong accent and was hard to hear, but at least we could see the inside of the castle, which was amazing. Ludwig had an obsession with swans and they were all ...

A museum mom and I had been anxious to visit while in Austria, Swarovski Crystal Worlds was our next stop on route. Visitors enter the "museum" under a curtain of water spewing forth from a giant's head. Once inside, there are a series of rooms with low lighting and unique displays, all involving crystals of course. The first room has a beautiful (fake) horse dressed in crystal studded tack ...

Last night we made it to Innsbruck in the early evening. This allowed for some time to walk find a hotel and walk into the centre of town to find some dinner. We came across a family restaurant, Weinerwald, where we had a family platter with more than enough food and a bottle of beverage, all for a very reasonable price. The food was really good too!

After dinner my parents ditched us and we walked around a bit more. The town looks really nice at night and we figured it ...

... the best roads in the world to carve up and we were overjoyed when we saw them pull over for gas after we passed back into Austria, hoping we wouldn't see them again. Within an hour it started to rain a bit and we put on our rainsuits for the rest of the ride. As we arrived at Garmisch and made our way to the Fest we saw thousands of bikes everywhere, somewhere we read that there is usually 40,000 ...

... around town for the arvo, and a night in. Watched some of the elections, and woke up this morning to the news that Obama won. Planning on going up the **** today (for those who don't know, it's a mountain pronounced "Vank", not some Bavarian masturbator!), and heading up to another pub in the evening where our friend Sarah works. Only two full days left here before going on to Egypt, so will make the most of it.

... Don't Walk" or "Gehen Sie nicht" or whatever, so they didn't. I think they were ready to brand me a heretic and take me to the Inquisitors when I stepped to the edge and, after a quick glance, proceeded on my way across the intersection. Luckily, by rule, they couldn't follow to haul me in. I was two blocks away by the time the light changed. That night I had one of the best traditional German-cuisine dinners of my life. I started with Lebersknödlesuppe, followed by ...

We went by car to Mittenwald and got at room at the Hotel Post. It was a nice room, but very narrow. It reminded me of a train compartment. There was a hail storm and it was rainy and cloudy. I bought ...
