Day 12, Tour ends

We started our day with a 6:30 departure from the hotel and a 2 ½ hour drive to Austria and our tour of the Eagle’s nest. What a drive! The Alps are something to be  experienced as the photos don’t really do them justice.

After arrival we got out of our touring bus to get onto a narrower bus for the ride to the top if you look closely at this photo you can just make out the Eagle’s nest at the very top of the mountain.

We took this group shot at the top and spent about 45 minutes there before heading down the mountain for a lunch at the visitor center there.

From there we drove into Strauszburg, Austria for a walking tour and some free time before driving back to Munich for dinner.

No dinner shots as my wife, Linda, and I have opted to go to the hotel with the bus driver and I’ve handed off leadership to Mrs. Johnson for this evening. Linda has come down with a bad cold and I’m putting her to bed early this evening before we fly back tomorrow.
