Europe 2019 trip..Today at 03:20:48
Two years in the making, planning and setting aside $ to take my Wife, Two sons, youngest son's girlfriend and my Mom (lives in TX). Six of us total.
Agenda was:
Rent a VW Diesel passenger van at the Munich Germany airport, drive:
3 days in Munich, Germany
4 days in Austria (Salzburg area)
Return the Van at the Salzburg, AU train station, take a 4 hour train trip to Zurich, Switzerland.
3 days in Switzerland
Uber to the Airport, catch ALITALIA airlines to Rome, Italy.
5 days in Rome
What did we do?
For the first two days in Germany, we did a WW2 tour of the Dachau concentration camp, then into Berchesgaden to see the Eagles Nest, Hitlers Home below the Eagles nest (he didn't live at the top of the mountain, despite most stories), all the various bunkers and hidden WW2 sites that still exist. In Austria, we spent time in Salzburg and surrounding small farming communities. We hit the Alps.
In Switzerland, we learned that that tiny country costs almost double as Germany and Austria, but our time was spent in/around Zurich, up the mountain via tram and took a steam powered paddle ship around Lake Zurich.
In Italy, we spent time bouncing between ancient Rome and a 2 hour train trip south to the coastal town of Naples.
