SO LONG LACERNE, SWITZERLAND, JOE AND JAN, AND HELLO MUNICH, GERMANY!

We were up EARLY, got packed, and drove what should have taken about an hour (but TRAFFIC!) to Zurich to drop Scho and Joe off at the airport for their flight home!  What an AMAZING trip we have gotten to enjoy together! (We missed you, Mary and Steve!)

John and I continued our journey on to Munich, Germany (i.e. John’s “Mother Country,” as he likes to call it).

At some point we crossed the border into Austria,

and crossed the Rhine River!

Somewhere we must have made it across the border into Germany, because we arrived in Munich and dropped the car off at the Enterprise rental return.  (Easy Peasy!) Then we hopped a train towards our hotel.  We got close and were supposed to then get on a tram to get us even closer, but opted to Uber it there!  While riding in the Uber, we heard from Jan and Joe.  They were enjoying an early Happy Hour without us!

It wasn’t long before they were on their flight home back to Indiana!  (Safe travels, you two!)

We arrived to our hotel and quickly discovered it to have BARELY BASIC rooms (oh my!), no air conditioning, but a nice big inviting bed that we jumped into for a quick nap!  AHHHH!  Our BARELY BASIC room also had a huge window that, when opened, let in a wonderful breeze!  (Thank Goodness!)

We woke up a short time later, refreshed, and ready to scope out a place for dinner!  Literally, across the street from our BARELY BASIC hotel, we found a great area with lots of restaurants, lots of people, lots of bikers and, most importantly, lots of really cold beer!  (Great job, Dieds!)

We chose this place for a delicious dinner,

and sat in this area to eat it, amongst John’s “people”!

Our BARELY BASIC hotel room’s bed was calling our name, so we walked back, jumped right into it with a nice evening breeze on us.  Sometime in the middle of the night, we woke up hearing a beautiful male voice singing, then joined by several other wonderful voices!  WOW, was it a dream?  We confirmed the fact that we were both hearing our very own “Midnight Serenade “ and, luckily, went right back to sleep for the rest of the night!

Good night all!  And again, we missed you Mary and Steve!
