The Alps - Day 5
What began as a cold, rainy drive to Zugspitze turned into pure magic when the gondola rose above the clouds, revealing a sea of white and sunshine. After missing out on Neuschwanstein Castle, we visited Linderhof Palace instead—complete with “Tour Guide Caitlin” keeping things entertaining. The day ended perfectly with hearty Bavarian food, great beer, and warm Apfelstrudel at Scheidegger.
In Transit - Day 4
What was supposed to be a smooth travel day from Hamburg to Munich turned into a comedy of travel mishaps and unexpected adventures. From a canceled train mid-journey and swollen feet to the chaos of trying to charge an electric rental car in Germany, it felt like everything that could go wrong did. But the day ended on a high note—arriving in Munich just in time for a cozy Bavarian dinner at Marienplatz and a moonlit stroll past the glowing Rathaus, where “Tour Guide Caitlin” made her debut and laughter replaced the day’s frustrations.
