Hello World! |
Little bummed out they didn't allow any cameras inside (except for the last few pics which were in the café), but I ended up with a few shots I felt ok about from the outside.
The last pic you can see our hotel. It's the first yellow, peaked-roof building you see down below.
The boy sure looks small in that first pic, doesn't he? These pictures were taken when we went by Walchensee.
The hilight of today's drive was Kesselbergstrasse. It's a super-windy mountain road, but unfortunately, there was a speed limit and a decent number of cars so we didn't exactly get the FULL experience...but it was fun anyway. We had also planned on driving Wallbergstrasse as well, but I missed the turn so we just skipped it.
The lowlight was definitely the extra traffic and 2 detours we ended up taking. I tried to map the original and new drive out here.

The two don't look THAT dis-similar, but it definitely felt longer than it should have. Both times, a road I needed was closed, and the second time, I actually got pretty far down the road before the closure came up, so I had to backtrack all the way. That was a bit annoying.
Needlesstosay, the drive today was pretty anti-climactic. However, it was fun to test out the M Mode :D
These are very detailed models. He keeps saying he thinks German toys are better than Japanese toys, LOL.
The balcony overlooking the lake was so nice we decided to have our dinner out there. These were some of the biggest cheeseburgers I've ever seen.
Took a horse carriage up to the castle...otherwise the walk would have been 40 minutes. Boy probably would hve started complaining after 5.

My car is equipped with Comfort Access. A convenient time-saving feature.
The pics aren't great since they're from the iPhone, but this was a REALLY good lunch. Buffet style so you could just go get whatever you want. The boy LOVED the soup and probably had 3 or 4 bowls of it. I went for the meats and vegetables...several times! So good.
Today was our first real driving day, and let me just say it was an absolute treat! The part from Münich to Brannenburg was pretty anti-climactic since we were just getting out of the city and there was some traffic, but once with hit the outskirts, it was awesome.
I never did get the Navi to import the routes I set up on BMW-Routes.com so I had to manually enter them. Wasn't too much of a hassle, but it would have been much better if the import simply would have worked. We stopped at Milbing which is where we took the first two pics. The other three are at a spot along the way somewhere on or near the Sudelfeldstrasse. It's a beautiful mountain roads with lots of great twisties and amazing scenery on both sides. Lots of trees, open fields and mountains. That was a ton of fun. Kyle took some video using the Flip Mino which I'll try to see if they are small enough to upload later.
The map of today's route is below:
Rented a paddle boat for an hour. More, better pics later.
