To wrap up this section of posts, I’ll end with our journey through Germany and Austria. The photos will be online soon; I’ll post the link eventually.
What I enjoyed about Germany was that each town we visited had a distinct atmosphere, a unique energy that set it apart. We stopped in Lübeck, Regensburg, Munich and Trier, with a visit to Salzburg, Austria in the middle there. Salzburg was great fun: an Indiana Jones style ride into the salt mines and a tour through the scenes of The Sound of Music. In Trier we visited Tobi and Claudi, friends I met a year ago in Nairobi. From there, a train ride to Frankfurt, and we were back on the airplane heading west after two full weeks of travel.
