We got up 10am and went down to the lobby for our breakfast that was included with the hotel room. Today the plan is to go to our next hotel in Schliersee in Bavaria. It is not that far to get there (especially with my dad driving on the Autobahn) so we are going to have some time to check out some towns along the way. We got our things packed and piled into the Mercedes E200 station wagon. We were on the road. Dad was happy to be zooming down the Autobahn at up to 210km/h, the speed the car is governed at, and we soon were approaching our hotel. We decided to stop for some food in Ausberg, a town/city just outside of Stuttgart.
We pulled into a small café adjacent the town Dom (cathedral) and ordered some baguettes; I got the American. We enjoyed our food and some iced coffee while sitting in awe of how clean and quiet the town was.
After lunch we went to check out the Dom. The Ausberg Dom is quite interesting, it was very old (circa 1060) but reconstructed more recently this century. Like some of the old buildings that I have been to in Germany the walls were oddly coated with plaster and painted with lines that gave the appearance of being constructed of blocks. I picked up a post card for my Uncle Terry and we continued on our trip to Schliersee.
Schliersee is a small town on the side of a small lake. It is located close to the Austrian boarder in Bavaria. Once arriving in town we went for a walk around to check out the town. Like all German cities/towns/villages that I have been in it was ridiculously clean; Schliersee was also über-Bavarian with all the buildings having the ornate wooden carved railings on the balconies, brown wooden shudders and some having Bavarian looking murals painted on the side of them.
