Day 15 - On to Germany


Today is a travel day. We're up early, finish packing, and have our final breakfast gazing at the falls for the Lauterbrunnen Valley.


We catch the 9 am train down from Lauterbrunnen to Interlaken Ost. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to visit Interlaken. The beauty of the Lauterbrunnen area kept us busy for the two days we had in the area. On to Zurich where we pick up the Deutchbahn to Munich.

Somehow we manage to find the Uhland hotel. When we exited the train station we turned on the GPS for assistance. For the entire time we walked toward the hotel (I had a printed map) a satellite connection was never completed. Our hotel is only a block from the Oktoberfest grounds which are empty at this time. It's an old mansion with 30 rooms and we're on the ground floor which means we have no steps.


After we dump our luggage and freshen up we head to the Old Town Zentrum to find something to eat. We settle on a restaurant that has something other than "wurst". We order an appetizer of nacho's and I'm not sure if it's been our abstinance of Mexican food but they were pretty darn good. The peppers were so hot Tony didn't eat all of them! We finished up with spagetti & a green salad. I liked it, but Tony thought everything tasted like fish and on the way back to the hotel he stopped for a Subway. Yeah, I know...but we haven't stopped at the McDonalds or Burger King yet.

We walk back to the hotel and call it a day. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
