If you've been following along with our travel adventures,
then it is time you met Cousin Christian.
Christian is my husband's second cousin...
and he is the best!
 |
| Following Christian aka "Drives With No Hands"... How does he do that? |
Christian took care of us like no other during our Bavarian part of the trip.
He'd meet us early at our hotel, guide us to destinations,
then return to Munich in the evening to get some work done and then do it all again.

On our trip from Munich to Garmisch-Partenkirchen,
we lunched at Tegernsee Abbey.
Tegernsee Abbey is a former Benedictine Monastery
and now hosts the Bräustüberl Beer Hall.

Just a note on German food.
I really don't like it and it doesn't like me.
My stomach rumbled a lot after eating even though I tried to find salads and non-pork dishes.
I also don't drink beer and getting tap water is impossible.
Although you can order "still water" it costs more than beer...
and more than gasoline.
(In one place, I snuck my glass to the bathroom to get water.
Shhhh. They would freak out and send me a bill.)

Somewhere behind us (above) is a residence for the King of Bavaria, I had no idea Bavaria still had a king!
"Franz Bonaventura Adalbert Maria Herzog von Bayern (born 14 July 1933),
is head of the Wittelsbach family, the former ruling family of the Kingdom of Bavaria." From Wikipedia

And now that we had lunch we are on the road following Christian again.
We just followed.
Wherever he was taking us was fine with us.
