This afternoon we drove from Munich to Mittendwald. Mittenwald is where the race begins. We get 3 days to acclimatize before Sunday's start. Saw the German Alps for the first time during our drive. The scenery thus far already exceeds expectations. I'm told it gets even better.
Really hope the food gets better. Last night's schnitzel left a little to be desired. Tonight I asked for the healthiest item on the menu. This is what arrived - turkey steak garnished with canned pineapple and maraschino cherries. Will need to learn the German word for vegetables.
Lastly, some beautiful Bavarian architecture as found throughout Mittenwald. Expect that I will run into Hansel and Gretel tomorrow.
Vegetables are called "Gemuese" in german... good luck with that, you'll be getting mostly meat and potatoes...maybe you'll have more luck with salad, Salat in german:)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the ride, the scenery will be beautiful with all the mountain passes you'll go over, on the other hand the roads will be narrow... take care.
