Friedrichshafen to Füssen

We awoke and went on a run, then packed and had breakfast before boarding the train for our first leg of the trip, a short hop to Lindau. We then went to the platform to board our train to Munich to again find it was “cancelled due to bad weather”. The next train wasn’t until 2 hours later and seemed to running as scheduled (at least per google maps) so we made a split second decision to walk to a fancy spa/hot springs Matt remembered from 2006 and hoofed it over there with all our gear. We ended up with about 45 min of splashing around in the water to get kid energy out. It remains a very fancy place! Matt did not recall it previously having waterslides, but it now does and these were a big hit. There was a smaller one that you rode with no tube that was similar to Shoshone chutes at Glenwood hot springs (but without a tube so you definitely got beat up a bit and the exit into deep water really tumbled you under the water for a bit). The other was a big tube slide that you could ride in single or double tubes and was faster but felt less scary to Matt as a parent as water was not too deep or powerful. Interestingly, there was no lifeguard on duty at the top or bottom of either slide, which definitely would not have flown in the US. We rushed to dry off and hurried back to the station only to find that the next train towards Munich was…also cancelled 🙁….At this point we decided to investigate a bit more and looked into rental car options (nothing available that would seat 6). We briefly considered cramming all of us into a 5 person car but then found on the German railway website an “alternate route” that involved a 1 hour bus ride then 2 other trains. We opted for this, with a silver lining being the kids got some time at a cool elephant themed playground on the island part of Lindau while waiting for the bus. Overall, the alternate route worked out fairly smoothly. We even lucked out and made a very tight (2 min) connection which made us get to Füssen 1 hour earlier than the website thought we could. Becca read more about the reason for cancellations and it turns out a section of tracks and buildings on the line between Lindau and Munich had been damaged by the storms overnight (apparently the damage was severe enough they initially though a tornado had come through). In Füssen we were pleased to see it was a short walk to our hostel and our room was nice and clean with well designed bunk beds (and a taxidermied pheasant that freaked Emily and Becca out to the point they refused to sleep under it and Matt had to). We had initially planned to check out Neuschwanstein castle this afternoon, but due to arriving about 4 hours later than planned, we opted to just explore the town and move the castle to the next morning. Füssen turned out to be a very cool little touristy town and we walked around a bit then had a tasty dinner in a German/Italian themed restaurant: Biem Olivenbauer. The waiter was very kind to our children but also told Becca she could not have a fried egg added to her salad because that was gross. We then grabbed ice cream and called it a night, glad we had made it through another day of travel woes thanks to the storms.

Mathilde hatte zwei Verehrer, war aber unschlüssig, für welchen der beiden sie sich entscheiden sollte. Der heitere Olivenbauer Heinrich war freundlich und humorvoll. Der grobschlächtige Grabräuber Grobert hingegen war stark und reich. Doch während Grobert viel Gold besaß, hatte Heinrich Haine.

Ich nehme immer häufiger wahr, wie häufig große Bäume in unseren Städte, an Straßen, aber auch Wäldern gefällt werden. Hier möchte ich nun einen Fall vorstellen, bei dem ich Hals habe.

Er hatte Flüchtlingen geholfen, über die italienisch-französische Grenze zu kommen - aus politischer Motivation, wie er sagt. Jetzt wurde Cédric Herrou, im Hauptberuf Olivenbauer, dafür verurteilt. via wort.lu http://ift.tt/2kaw6fB
