Monday, April 23 – Enjoying the Local Sights of Garmisch - and Grainau

Oops…forgot a couple of pictures from first blog – one of Mike and Liz and one of our hotel in Garmisch…

OK….On Monday Liz head off to work at her conference at the Eibsee Hotel after breakfast, and Bob grabs a hotel bike and heads up to the small town of Grainau and a bit beyond. The views of the Garmisch countryside are very nice, and the grade is mostly gentle, which makes for a very pleasant ride.  Spring is just recently come to the area, and the greenery is fresh and vibrant, but there is still plenty of snow up on the Zugspitz and its companion mountains. The Zugspitz  tram occasionally crosses Bob’s bike path.  After work, Liz and Bob go for a long walk around town.  Dinner is back up in Grainau at a favorite local restaurant, the Spaetzle House. Very nice kasespaetzle for Liz and jagersnitzel for Bob. And a beer and some white wine, of course!!  It’s Germany after all.  We have to walk a bit after that dinner to remain conscious for we take a stroll on a local trail and discover some delightful vistas for our effort.  Back to the hotel. One of us has to work the next day. Did I say that before?
