RE: How I spent my summer vacation - Tim - 07-22-2014
BP- It wouldn't shock me. Yesterday on our way to Kitzbuhel, Austria we were in a front car where the "pilot" could be seen through a large glass door. I stood at the door for a bit and watched through the windshield. I could see the entire control panel including the speedometer. We were travelling 150km/hr and the tracks looked tiny as we sped along. I don't think I would want to be up front when we were going 300.

Schuttzie I agree. I never really had the desire to do the Europe thing..much more of a tropical island sit on the beach kind of gal when I think of planning vacation time. But this trip report definitely has me interested in planning a romp across Europe some day. Thanks again Tim

We spent a month which was simply amazing. We flew a lot and found flying to be cheaper but next time we will take the train.

I have this amusing image of you toking while jogging laps around the perimeter. Is that how it worked?
Honestly I don't understand how people can run (or any type of exercise really) and smoke (anything).
When younger, one of the fastest guys on my team would take a break and smoke a cig - I couldn't believe it.
But then I've never been a smoker (OK there was that one week in 7th grade), so more power to you that can.
Enjoying the story - please continue. Would love to see pics, but I'm not able to help with the details.
Sorry JonTom I meant to respond earlier. I never actually puffed while running, just inhaled plenty of second hand ganja smoke from all the groups lighting up all over the park.

A few more pics from Munich, mostly English Gardens park...

The little orange truck passed by every 5 minutes or so. Workers would stage empty mugs on tables along the pathway and the driver fill the back of the truck.

In the Munich Hbf waiting for our train to Fussen.
RE: How I spent my summer vacation - Tim - 07-23-2014
It was only about a 2 hour train ride from Munich to Fussen. As I think I have already mentioned, travelling by train has been awesome. Really, it's probably no cheaper than flying in Europe when talking about going between big cities, but even if we had the option to fly to the small places we have been going, I would prefer the train. There is no stress, no line-ups, no waiting for luggage, and they are quite comfy. On top of that you get to see so much of the country which I really enjoy. I got chills when I could first make out the Alps as we got close to the south of Germany. It was a clear day so they could be seen from a long ways away.
These pictures were all taken from the train...

My wife has been to Europe but I never have. Thanks so much for taking time to post your report and pictures. The world is a big place and it is interesting to see more of it.
