Good morning neighbours! Have you missed us...? grin

Sunday 29 December 2024

It's good to get home from a trip & enjoy our mountain views... erm... #WrongKindOfMountains wink

When you nonchalantly said your winter trip would be a 4000km drive... & get home only 3.7km short of that. LOL! grin

Saturday 28 December 2024

Found a nice Italian restaurant & ordered plat du jour... which wasn't pizza. Doh! Still, that steak wasn't bad! wink

Friday 27 December 2024

Bakery aisle & kebab (well, doner meat sandwich) complete our meals for today. Who said road trips aren't healthy? wink

Thursday 26 December 2024

Couple of hours drive later, some of that even on the autobahn! Yes, is cold today so had to clean snow off by hand.

Thursday 26 December 2024

Tschuss Abtenau smile Was short but sweet... maybe see you again when it's not so white? Could bring the snail? grin

Saturday 21 December 2024

Arrived in Abtenau to catch last rays of sun, from the balcony & above. Love this place but just here for the night.

When you fancy a burger... lucky they have Indonesian chicken curry on the menu for someone else! Nom, nom, nom! tongue
