April 14, 2009: Hiked around the lake





I wiggled out from between the sheets, wiped the sleep from my eyes and greeted another day in euro-paradise. The day started off with a cup of coffee and an all you can eat breakfast buffet. We decided to spend the day exploring the area around Schliersee.

 

We picked up a map and decided to take a hike around the small lake near the town. We took a slight wrong turn and in the process were rewarded by seeing the local saw mill, it was very organized and the wood smell helped to mask the ever-present cow smell. After getting back on path we circumnavigated the lake; while we were going around the lake we enjoyed the sight of the Bavarian buildings, the train tracks and some swans that decided to join us.

 

To reward ourselves for the hike we stopped in at a café on the shore of the lake for a beer and some dessert. My mom and dad had the apple strudel, Stuart had the spätzle and I had a MASSIVE (both in size and deliciousness) salad.

 

We took some time off for a nap and then headed off to the restaurant that was recommended to us by our German neighbors. We all ordered beer and sausage and took in the view of the Alps reflected off the lake. Wow.
