Sunday August 22: Day 3 In Germany and Austria

After we take a tour of Neuschwanstein Castle, we plan to drive to Chiemsee Germany for lunch and check out Schloss Herrenchiemsee on Herreninsel island on Lake Chiemsee.

We will then head south to Salzburg Austria.

We are going to expolre the castle on the hill. 

We will also explore the town square that has a statue of Mozart.

We head south again to Berchtesgaden Germany. We are going to explore Hitler's "Eagles Nest".

We are spending the night at Hotel Gruenberger in Berchtesgaden.

Saturday August 21: Day Two In Germany

We will have a really busy day this day. We are going to Dachau Concentration Camp then head south and stop and explore Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

After that, our next stop will be the Zugspitze. We are going to take the cogwheel train up and the gondola down.

We are then heading west to Fuessen for the night. I found a place to stay Hotel Sonne that looks OK, we'll just have to find out on our own. We will explore the Neuschwanstein Castle in the morning.

Friday August 20: Day One In Germany Continued

After we have the car we will travel to our hotel. I found a Courtyard by Marriott hotel (at least I know what to expect) right in the middle of downtown. It is located within walking distance to the Marionsplatz where the famous Munich Glockinspiel is.

We hope to arrive and check in to the hotel, freshen up, and make it to the square in time to see the final performance of the week for the Rathaus-Glockenspiel that occurs at 17:00 hours.

Friday August 20: Day One In Germany

When we arrive at the Munich airport we will be going directly to the BMW Welt and "collecting" our new car. I hope it will not have any problems with it!

Here is a picture of the 2011 BMW 528I we are picking up in Germany on Friday August 20.
