A day of contrasts in Munich

Europe » Germany » Bavaria » Munich

The Fast Train!
Well 250km/h is fast for me...

Pickled Fish for Breakfast Up early again (6:00am), quick shower, dress, pack, and downstairs for the complementry breakfast. And what a breakfast! All manner of cold sliced meats & cheese, a selection of cereals & juice, and (now I know that I'm in Germany) pickled herrings! Kate looked over her toast & nuttela with distain at my plate of manufactured meat, cheese, & pickled fish! When in Rome I say... Fast Train to Munich We go straight to the station and ask for the next fast (250 km/h) train to Munchen (Munich) and were told to go to platform 8 at [View Full Entry]

Gutten Tag!

Europe » Germany » Hessen » Frankfurt

I'm so tired...
I've avoided Jetlag by staying tired all the time.

Mid Atlantic. Not sleeping very well even with two seats, but at least we have plenty of room this time. Breakfast not a moment too early, but again Kate's lactose free meal is better... I think I've got to come up with a better dietary requirement. Low carb just isn't getting me anywhere. ~ an hour to land there is no avoiding it, I'm going to have to do battle with my mortal enemy - the aircraft toilet. Yet again the toilet wins 8-( Arr. Frankfurt Main. Landed in short order, through customs in minutes and then to collect our bags. [View Full Entry]

Leaving the USA.

North America » United States » California » Los Angeles

Reflections on the Highway
I took this photo overtaking a milk tanker, I thought that it looked cool...

FRESNO. I complete my fast food tour with a 'massive meat sandwich' breakfast from Burger King. - Fantastic! I am sure that the reason for the 'obesity' epedemic is the availability, abundance, and low cost (relatively) of the fast food restaurants. They are everywhere and they are cheap, but most importantly - you don't have to tip! Starbucks for coffee again as we have given up looking for anywhere else (it just leads to disappointment) and when we explained to the young girl at the register where we were from and where we were going, she asked (with the most bewildered [View Full Entry]

Natural Wonders!

North America » United States » California » Yosemite National Park

Natural Wonders!
A GIANT Redwood Forest (Mik for scale).

Up as early as we could manage (~6.00 am) and hit the road (~8.00 am) to head north over Golden Gate Bridge to Muir Woods the first stop of the day. We took the wrong exit (again) and got off early (will get the hang of the system eventually). Once off the highway the drive to Muir Woods was VERY nice! (with the top down of course) and the trees were SPECTACULAR! A coffee and a (very) salty pretzel and back on the road . . . So what do you have for lunch when time is short and you're racing [View Full Entry]
