Canadian Buffoon European Vacation - 30/03 - Endings and Silver Linings

[Lintasare]

First time chiming in on this report. Loving it. I lived in Germany back in the late 80s when it was still West Germany. Dad was military so we spent three years over there visiting any spot that wasn't Communist.

The picture of the Alps from your hotel window had me in tears, so beautiful. Kinda miss that place.

We visited Neuschwanstein many times. In fact family history says that my great-great grandmother had family who worked for the King.

One day I will be back.

And a couple pages ago someone mentioned the BMW European Delivery program. My parents did that a couple years ago. They loved it. You don't have to worry about emissions standards because I think Europe's is tighter than the US. All I know is they had to get a sticker from each country they visited. Dad wants to do it again. Mom says no way. Whatever.

Oh yeah... *waves at Thumper Man* Hey neighbor.

 

[lisaviolet]

Oh no! I AM two behind. Drat. Drat. Drat. I've only looked at pictures and boy are they pretty. You should have heard me gasp as I was scrolling. Okay, I'll be back. So much to catch up on.

 

[lisaviolet]

Happens to me all the timje; I';ll be walking downt the strret with a big smile n my face, and people can't refuse noticing and taking part in it.

n

Cute.

So someone explain to me how you all know each other so well. Pretty please.

From a previous TR? Have you met in person?

Yes, I'm very nosy.

And this is a prettier purple! It's late, ignore. I need sleep.

 

[Thumper_Man]

Cute.

So someone explain to me how you all know each other so well. Pretty please.

Back in the beginning of time, God created man and woman... On second thought, we'll skip this part and get straight to the point. That will take me years to write. Plus there's already a book written about this.

From a previous TR?

TR's (plural). Well I guess you can say TR. Then it evolved into more than one. It started with one of Nebo's TR's. If you ever get a chance to read them, I highly suggest you do.

From there it has gone to Ponzi's TR, to mine and Lady H's TR, back to Ponzi's TR, back to Lady H and mine. Nebo had some in there as well but abandoned them after his injury (broken wrist). We have one going at the same time as Ponzi. Other people posting her have TR's going as well.

Have you met in person?

Lady H and I have met Nebo and Smidgy. We recently went on vacation with them and that is what our current TR is about. We met a few other Disers as well.

We've yet to meet Pkondz and his family. We've become really close friends over the internet, mostly through here. Ponzi has yet to call me but often calls Nebo. Come to think about it, I think I was supposed to call him sometime last year. Oops. My bad. Anyways, we've sent each other postcards back and forth. We hope to get to meet him some time in the future.

Yes, I'm very nosy.

Don't you know the saying "Mind your own business." That doesn't happen around here. We all want to know the gruesome details.

And this is a prettier purple! It's late, ignore. I need sleep.

Actually it's early for me, but too late. Get some sleep and come back tomorrow (which is actually today).

 

[Thumper_Man]

Oh yeah... *waves at Thumper Man* Hey neighbor.

Neighbor? Are you the one's that are going to rent the house next door? Or the house across the street?

I'm guessing you either live here in NM or somewhere close like FL.

Nosy is very fulfilled this afternoon. Thank you, Thumper_Man.

Lovely. For all of you.

Though I was REALLY disappointed that you didn't share how women and men were created and such.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

T-Man, I totally missed that you started a new TR Heading over there now.

Me, too. Been reading when I can today. Been busy with the snow.

Welcome! Don't mind the insanity that occasionally breaks out around here.
Nobody bites.

much.


I was there in the mid 70s. I stayed with my Aunt while my Uncle, Mom & Dad went to visit my Uncle's brother in Berlin... East Berlin.

I remember my folks saying how nervous my uncle was the whole time.
Worried that they wouldn't let him back out.

The picture of the Alps from your hotel window had me in tears, so beautiful. Kinda miss that place.

Thanks!
More Alps pics in the next chapter, so stick around!

We visited Neuschwanstein many times. In fact family history says that my great-great grandmother had family who worked for the King.

One day I will be back.

That's cool. According to Wiki, about 300 people per day worked on the castle.

I don't plan on going back again.
a.) Way too crazy busy now; and
b.) Been there three times already.

And a couple pages ago someone mentioned the BMW European Delivery program. My parents did that a couple years ago. They loved it. You don't have to worry about emissions standards because I think Europe's is tighter than the US. All I know is they had to get a sticker from each country they visited. Dad wants to do it again. Mom says no way. Whatever.

hmmm... Now I'm more curious. I'm gonna Google that and see what's what.

Plus, gives me another excuse to visit Europe.

Oh no! I AM two behind. Drat. Drat. Drat. I've only looked at pictures

That's okay, the prose ain't so poetic.
So I use the pictures to cover up my inability to... to ... say stuff rite.

and boy are they pretty. You should have heard me gasp as I was scrolling. Okay, I'll be back. So much to catch up on.

Thanks for the compliments on the pics!

So someone explain to me how you all know each other so well. Pretty please.

From a previous TR? Have you met in person?

Yes, I'm very nosy.

I'll leave that since Bunny Boy has already so eloquently answered your query.

Back in the beginning of time, God created man and woman... On second thought, we'll skip this part and get straight to the point. That will take me years to write. Plus there's already a book written about this.

Title?

We've yet to meet Pkondz and his family. We've become really close friends over the internet, mostly through here. Ponzi has yet to call me but often calls Nebo.

You heard it here first folks!
He called me a 'close friend'.

wait.... does this have something to do with "keep your enemies closer"????

And I can't say I call Nebo 'often'. More like once in a while, I'm ashamed to admit. I did call him on his Birthday, but he wasn't in.
I must, must, MUST call him soon.

And try as I might, I've tried calling T-Man, but no matter how hard I yell, he either can't hear me, or ignores me.

Probably the latter.

Still, if he ever gives me a phone number, I could try that too, I suppose.

Don't you know the saying "Mind your own business." That doesn't happen around here. We all want to know the gruesome details.

Oh, Gawd. So true.
We have Nebo to thank for that, I think.

It's kind of an "Oh, boy! What has he done to himself this time" kind of thing.

Neighbor? Are you the one's that are going to rent the house next door? Or the house across the street?

I'm guessing you either live here in NM or somewhere close like FL.

Didn't you read the location?
Middle Earth?
That'd be close to everyone wouldn't it?

Though I was REALLY disappointed that you didn't share how women and men were created and such.

Oh, that's easy.
A man and a woman get together.
They hold hands and either pray or wish really hard.

Then this:

T-Man, I totally missed that you started a new TR Heading over there now.

He refused to advertise...
I think it was a stealth thing or something...

 

[pkondz]

Been busy with the snow.

That kills me!
Here it's, "What? Snowing again?? I just finished shovelling!!!"

 

[Lintasare]

Neighbor? Are you the one's that are going to rent the house next door? Or the house across the street?

I'm guessing you either live here in NM or somewhere close like FL.

Albuquerque to be exact.

 

[Thumper_Man]

Albuquerque to be exact.

I guess we are pretty close neighbors. We live in Rio Rancho.

 

[lisaviolet]

After scarfing down their ginormous pretzel, we strolled around for a while, popping in and out of kitschy tourist shops.
Eventually, the girls' incessant whining of, "We're thirsty!" got on my last nerve and I decided to let them have some water.

How giving of you.

Boy! Just because you have a massive super salty pretzel, is no reason to demand water!

I got them back though.
I accidentally bought "wasser mit gas" instead of "stille wasser".
Basically I bought them soda water.

Whoops! The natives are revolting!
Actually, they weren't that bad.... but they weren't happy!

Yeah, yeah. I got them regular water right away.
Call off the cops for child abuse.
Sheesh.

Sheesh.

By now it's time to get our car, retrieve our bags and head to the hotel.
Of course before we can do all that we have to get lost first.
This adds to the excitement and keeps things from being dull...
or enjoyable.

At the car rental place, I give my reservation info to the clerk.
I had done a lot of research on car rentals from Munich and had decided to have some fun.

For only a little bit more per day, I had reserved a convertible.
I could see it now.
Toodling through alpine villages with the top down and not a care in the world.

The clerk took one look at the four of us and...
"I don't want to tell you what to do... we have the car here... but...
Do you have any bags with you?
The trunk is very small and can only fit maybe one large bag.
My experience with people from America is usually they have a lot of bags."

Well, I had already thought of all that.
My plan was to have some discomfort for a bit until we got to the hotel,
then afterwards it'd be smooth sailing.

But...

Well...

The hotel is about an hour and a half drive...
So that's three hours of having the girls ride with suitcases piled on top of them...

I'm okay with that.


Fine. Fine!
Stop shaking your head in disgust at my poor parenting skills or lack thereof.

I love it. That's priceless.

I'll get a different car.
Happy now?

"I do have a very nice BMW 5 series car for only ten euros more per day."

Oh.

My credit card covers the insurance on rentals... but only up to a reasonable amount.
I think it's around $60,000 or thereabouts.

This car is worth more than that.
Ah, what the heck. I'm on vacation, right?

Right!

It wound up costing an extra 250 Euros or about $340 USD.



Hey, it's only a little more than the cleaning of your clothes.

It turned out to be so worth every penny.


The clerk explained to me that since he was alone, he couldn't leave his desk.
He gave us directions to the garage and sent us on our way.

After a couple of minor miscues, we find the car.
Oooohhhh... very purty.
I'll post a pic in a later chapter.

So we stuff all the suitcases in,
(as it turned out, we still had to have one in the backseat between the girls)
pile in,
aaaaaaannnnnddd.....

nothing.


car won't start.

Push the start button. Nothing.
Car's in neutral? Check.
I start looking around for something obvious.
Like, "Hey dummy! Do this first!"
Nope. Can't find anything like that.

I pull out the owner's manual to try and figure it out.
Of course the manual's in german...

I'm just on the verge of telling everyone to sit tight while I go back to the rental office and ask how to start it,
when lo and behold, our rental clerk enters the garage.

"Hey! How do you start it?"

The clerk comes over, hops in the driver seat, pushes the button and...

VRRRROOOMMMMM!!!!!!

He didn't say that... it's the sound the car made as it started right up.


He looks at me and innocently asks, "Did you have your foot on the brake?"


Oh.


Duly chastened, we set out.

Okay, this car is nice.

For those of you who own or have rented expensive vehicles you can skip the next little bit.
But for the rest of us....
The girls were very impressed with their own pull down console, personal climate controls and heated seats.
While I thought the in dash GPS was nice, I was amazed by the heads up display.
The speed, road restrictions, plus GPS directions looked like they were floating over the hood of the car.
When I got the car up to speed, which at one point on that first day was 170 KMH/105MPH, the car was perfectly smooth.
At that speed, with the cruise on, the car would slow itself down if I started catching up to traffic.
The steering wheel would give a warning vibration if it thought I was drifting out of my lane.
Speaking of which, the turn signals would turn themselves of after a lane change.

<sigh> Just gotta win the lottery and I can have one for my very own.

If anyone's interested, I did take a picture of the heads up display.
If you want to see it, let me know and I'll post it.


Okay, all the rich people can come back now!


After a couple of hours and one detour, we arrive at the small town of Wallgau.
Located at the foot of the alps, it's close to the picture postcard town of Mittenwald and the 1936 Winter Olympic city of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Wow, what a vacation --- just filled with memories at every turn.!!!!

Our host greeted us warmly and showed us to our rooms.
We were very lucky this trip as our hosts at the smaller B&B type places were really, really friendly.

I'll post photos of the hotel in later chapters, but right now it's been a long day and we're beat.

There's no air conditioning in the room and it's a little warm, so I open the balcony door to let in some fresh alpine air.

We go to sleep dreaming of the next day's adventure while being serenaded by a couple of tom cats fighting outside our room.



[/B][/COLOR]

Yes, we want pictures of the car!!!!!!

 

[lisaviolet]

.

Kay told me that she would not leave Germany for Italy unless she first had some spätzle.

We grabbed a table at an outdoor seating area and grabbed the menus that were lying on the table.
The menus were bilingual German/English so we were able to read them.

Our waiter came and took our order and we were scarfing down good German grub in no time.


.

While we were waiting, a couple of middle aged women sat at a table behind us.
For whatever reason, they decided they didn't like that table and moved to the one immediately beside ours.
I can only surmise they did so because this would give them a better vantage point to eavesdrop and blow cigarette smoke in our faces.
Luckily, we were just about done eating by then and were just waiting to pay.

One woman forgot her drink and went back to get it.
She told her friend that she "Forgot her Cola."

Ruby thought she said that she "Forgot her colon."
I assured her that was something that you would not want to leave behind.
:

When we had finished eating, inhaling second hand smoke and commenting on people's bowels,
we just had enough time to make our way to Marienplatz to see the Neues Rathaus and its famous glockenspiel.

Translation: Mary's plaza, New City Hall and.... well... glockenspiel.

The Glockenspiel runs twice a day at 11am and noon and also 5pm in the summer.
We walked quickly enough that we arrived in plenty of time to stake out a good vantage spot.



Netting over sculptures keeps the pigeons off.
You see this on a lot of buildings in Europe.



The New City Hall was built between 1867 and 1908.
Sounds pretty old?
Nah. The old one is still there and was built in 1394.

The glockenspiel has two main sections and one smaller section at the top.
The glockenspiel has life size characters that twirl and dance and even two knights on horseback who 'joust'.
The knights go around twice with the Bavarian knight knocking down his opponent on the second go-'round.
After it's all said and done, a mechanical rooster slowly flaps its wings and crows three times.

I'm sure when it was first introduced in 1908 it was the equivalent of today's YouTube.

Now?

Well the whole thing lasts about 15 minutes and after you've seen it, you'll wonder if you'll ever get that 15 minutes of your life back.

You won't.

So funny.

Some fools left early without realizing that they hadn't seen the whole thing.
How I envy those people...

I bet.

But it's a traditional Munich experience and I'm glad the kids got to suffer through it just like I had to the first time I saw it.


Are you sure? Just joking.


After the "show", we made our way to the most famous site in Munich.
If you've ever been to an Oktoberfest celebration anywhere in the world...
And if they've played "oom-pah" music...

Then they (and possibly you) would have sung about the Hofbrauhaus.

It's a huge building with a cavernous open main floor,
a smaller upper floor
and a large open air area
all for the purpose of quaffing copious amounts of beer.

Founded in 1589 by the Duke of Bavaria, the Hofbrauhaus is one of the oldest beer halls in Munich.
The Hofbrau beer became popular and then famous.
So famous that it actually saved the city.
In 1632, during the 30 years war, a conquering King threatened to burn the whole city down.
He agreed not to burn it down in exchange for 600,000 barrels of Hofbrauhaus beer.

Wow, so interesting. Do you remember all of these little tidbits?

You'd think with that much beer on hand, you wouldn't really have to worry about fire, don't you think?

The hall has a dark mark on its history as one of the locations where Hitler held meetings and functions.
However, it's also where Mozart visited.
He wrote a poem claiming to have written an opera after several visits to the Hofbrauhaus gave him strength and inspiration.

Wow. Sighing. How lucky your girls are. I mean to have this trip; not to visit places Hitler had meetings. How lucky.

Other luminaries to visit are Lenin, author Thomas Wolfe and President John F. Kennedy.



We tried to find a table outside to sit and try some beer, but it was full.



This is my favorite part of the hall.
There's an area where locals reserve their own tables...
and some even have their own beer steins which are kept at the hall under lock and key!



Oh crap, I'm so tired that I'm forgetting which picture is which and it's ruining it a bit for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since we couldn't sit outside, and the band wasn't playing yet inside
(they start around 7pm)
we decided to just grab a pretzel from a passing server and head out.

Now this I remember!

 

[lisaviolet]

The Rooster Crowed at Five PM



This morning we leave Cologne and make our way to Southern Germany with a pit stop in Munich.

Munich is of course known for its history (beer!), friendly people (beer!) and Oktoberfest (more beer!).

Do you like beer? I wish I did. But I haven't had one since school days. I don't know why that is - oh whoops I just said because I wish I liked it. Maybe this isn't a good time to start talking on this installment. Good things could not be coming.


But first we have to check out of our ultra-modern, oh-so-chic hotel and get ourselves back to the train station.

Geez, I'm sad to leave that place.

At the front desk, I grit my teeth and do not comment on the extra 100 or so Euros on the bill.

There's probably a griping surcharge, anyway.

Probably.

Since he's German and English is a second language, he does not say, "Okay, you're a cab."

Priceless, as I know I AM in many different languages.

And then he does..... 'it'.

He raises an eyebrow.

You know.
The "Are you really so soft and weak, you spoiled and under-exercised North American, that you can't even walk two kilometers" raised eyebrow.

I really need to move to Europe.


I'm not sure if his goal was to shame me into walking,
or to avoid having to make a phone call and telling some cabbie that he had an incredibly short ride,
or perhaps a genuine concern for my health which could use a little endorphin therapy.

In any event, at the time, I picked (a); the shame.

"Ruby, why don't we walk? It's not that far. We've walked it before."

OMG, you didn't.


She bought it.


And so our intrepid explorers set out on their quest to re-discover the train station, or die trying.

I took the lead (see? if you beat me over the head often enough, I can learn!)
The evil critters were in the middle and Ruby was tail end Charlie.

You did.




By this time we were about half way there and I thought it was an excellent time to stop and admire the scenery.
After all, how many times are we going to be in Cologne, right?

Right?

Hello?

Anybody?

Right.



Nope. Nobody, because my family passed me by and are now looking back, impatiently waiting for me to catch up.
We have a train to catch!
And hernias to hatch!

Oh you weren't even talking to us. Whoopsie.

With newfound determination, I grasp my one carrion, two suitcases and one rhinoceros and set off in pursuit.

At least I did until that dang elephant showed up...

SWITCH!!!!

When David Livingstone showed up to ride the elephant, a small part of me died.


After about 23 years, we arrive back at the Cathedral, which as you may recall is right beside the train station.

Time for a picture!
(I don't have to carry suitcases while I'm stopped for pictures, that's why)



Lovely.






See? It says Munchen (German spelling for Munich)... but still... better safe than sorry, I thought.
Doesn't that gentleman on the left just scream 'German' to you?
Then again, for all I know, he's from Seattle or something.

I wanted to say something about him, but I forget now.




In Europe, Coca Cola is running this advertising campaign where they put people's names or types on Coke bottles.
It seems to work, since a few times I saw people hunting for specific bottles to purchase.
Kay was particularly pleased with this one.



In case you can't decipher the German, her bottle says "Princess" on it.

Neat, what were some of the others? Since I usually run around WDW saying "down with the princesses".

Once the train got going, I had to switch seats with Kay.
She doesn't like travelling backwards...

The train took us through and stopped at Bonn, the former capitol, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Augsburg.

So incredibly jealous of this entire trip!!!!!

Well, I did it! I almost lost the entire post because of my smilies and when I halfed it to get under the ____ limit well it didn't work and I almost lost ALL!!!! But I used my brain and went backwards, opened another window and escaped with it all intact. Did you follow ANY of that? Laughing. Loudly. I think I'll quit for the day. Will return on the other. I didn't give this one justice.

 

[lisaviolet]

Oh, that's easy.

Then this:

Oh that's how it works. Thank you! It's all been so confusing for me. I'll wait by my mailbox.

 

[pkondz]

How giving of you.

I thought so too.
I'm practically a Saint.

Hey, it's only a little more than the cleaning of your clothes.

True! I never thought of it that way.
Next time I'll just stay dirty and stinky and rent a Porsche.

Yes, we want pictures of the car!!!!!!

Maybe later... if you're a good girl.

Wow, so interesting. Do you remember all of these little tidbits?

A lot of them. But I usually double check with wiki just to make sure...
and then I find out other stuff that just has to go in the TR, too.

Wow. Sighing. How lucky your girls are. I mean to have this trip; not to visit places Hitler had meetings. How lucky.

Well... For better or worse.... or in this case, just worse...
It's part of the history of the Country.
I didn't mention it to them, though.

Why be a buzz kill?
It's a really happy place (that many singing, drunk people will do that, I guess), so why spoil it?

I remember when I was their age (a bit younger actually) and how much of an impression going to Europe made on me.
So I wanted to give them the same opportunity.

Even if it put us in the poor house!

Now this I remember!

What?
I forgot.

Do you like beer? I wish I did. But I haven't had one since school days. I don't know why that is - oh whoops I just said because I wish I liked it. Maybe this isn't a good time to start talking on this installment. Good things could not be coming.

Actually, no.
But when in Rome....

If you ever watched Kids in the Hall, you'll have a pretty good idea of what kind of drinks I like.

OMG, you didn't.

You did.

Had to!
He raised his eyebrow!

Neat, what were some of the others? Since I usually run around WDW saying "down with the princesses".

I really don't recall.
I do remember that a lot of them just had first names on them.
Wish I'd written them down.

ah well...

All that comes to mind are 'Anna' and 'Sara'.

So incredibly jealous of this entire trip!!!!!

Good! Then my work here is done.

TR over!

Well, I did it! I almost lost the entire post because of my smilies and when I halfed it to get under the ____ limit well it didn't work and I almost lost ALL!!!! But I used my brain and went backwards, opened another window and escaped with it all intact. Did you follow ANY of that? Laughing. Loudly. I think I'll quit for the day. Will return on the other. I didn't give this one justice.

Oh, you did just fine... especially after almost losing your mind.
At least that's what I think you were trying to say.

Oh that's how it works. Thank you! It's all been so confusing for me. I'll wait by my mailbox.

Glad I could help.
I provide a public service I tell ya.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Ponzi, I finally finished your Swan chapter. Oh, how I miss the bread and cheeses and cold cuts! You are taking me back home in every chapter.
Well, till you get to Italy, then you will on your own, all I have is a daytrip to Trieste(?) there. But maybe in the future; hubby wants to travel when he retires next year. He's getting 6 travel books for Christmas I wanted 1 or 2, but you know what they do, buy 1, get an extra two at a special price...

Anyway, love all your chapters and pictures, awesome!

 

[pkondz]

Ponzi, I finally finished your Swan chapter.

Sounds like it was a bit of a chore.
So you're saying they should be shorter?
More pictures, less breathless prose?
Just... less?

Oh, how I miss the bread and cheeses and cold cuts!

I know!
Then what do we do when we get back?
Right back to boxed cereal!

You are taking me back home in every chapter.

German roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
Love the breakfast, love the bratwurst
Take me home, German roads

Well, till you get to Italy, then you will on your own, all I have is a daytrip to Trieste(?) there. But maybe in the future; hubby wants to travel when he retires next year.

I'd like to go back and see more of it.
But this trip was always just a 'taste' of Europe.

He's getting 6 travel books for Christmas I wanted 1 or 2, but you know what they do, buy 1, get an extra two at a special price...

That's a good thing!
More places to go... you have to, now that you've got the books, right?

Anyway, love all your chapters and pictures, awesome!

So.... now you're saying it's not too long?

So confused.


Glad you liked it!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

So.... now you're saying it's not too long?

So confused.


Glad you liked it!

Your chapters are just right, keep on doing what you're doing!
