Tuesday, April 24 – Snow in Bavaria in April. Who Knew ?
After a “light” breakfast of eggs, sausage, bacon and pretzel bread, Liz heads off to work. Bob relaxes and reads at the Hotel and strolls around Garmisch in the sometimes-heavy snow. He then meets Liz up at the Eibsee at the end of her workday, and they take a beautiful long walk around Lake Eibsee in the fresh snow. The Zugspitz and the woods around the lake are so beautiful with the coating of white. Afterwards we rediscover a favorite restaurant in Garmisch (Zum Wildschultz – Number 1 restaurant in Garmisch on Trip Advisor) and have some of their amazing potato soup with bacon cream…and split an order of a pork knuckle, red cabbage and dumplings. We ordered the low calorie version. Not !!!!! The fraulein that splits the pork knuckle with a cleaver is not to be trifled with.
Das ist sehr gut!
ReplyDeleteLiebe Lis und Robert,
ReplyDeleteI spent many years in Europe during my Air Force time, and Bavaria was always one of my favorite stops. I actually attended a German ski instructor course there and became certified for teaching beginners. My German language skills had a real work-out then.
If you have a chance during a repeat trip to Garmisch, you might want to take a side trip to Oberammergau. It's not far, and perhaps you recognize the name from the famous Passion Plays held there. Anyway, it also is a picturesque village with lots of the same wall paintings you saw in Garmisch.
Auf Wiedersehen,
Lloyd
