Munich and Christmas markets

Our flight over was nice. We didn’t take off until 9:25pm from O’Hare and after being fed, watched a movie and some alcohol, we had some solid sleep. They turned on the lights about 1.5 hours before we were to land. We received a fruit cup, muffin and Oreos. We were surprised to find a Christmas market in the courtyard of the airport. Wood carvings, huge pretzels and giant decorated gingerbread cookies were all on display. You could go ice skating if you wanted.







Took a look, grabbed a soft pretzel and got on the train. 30 minutes to our stop and then about a 5 minute walk to our hotel. Great little place. We have a full kitchen and face the courtyard, so it is nice and quiet. They do things right here in Germany. Our mini frig had 2 beers and 2 bottles of water waiting for us. 

Unpacked and hopped back on the train to Marienplatz- Munich’s central hub. Christmas market overload! All the lights, music and wonderful gifts. If you were not in the Christmas spirit, you would be now. Everything is so festive everywhere. Many food choices too.  I think we will be sampling over the next few days.We will be doing serious Christmas market exploration tomorrow.










We met our friend Laurel for dinner at a great tapas restaurant. We shared 10 different foods. All were outstanding. The chocolate mousse for dessert was amazing!!!!!!! Need to get a good night’s sleep so we are ready for tomorrow.

Wolfhound Tours- Day 5- Dingle Way, Slea Head, ruins and ring forts

Image
After breakfast, we headed towards the coast. Those looking for a hike were dropped off at the Dingle Way trailhead. There were only three of us. Marty, Emilie and myself. The trail hiked up the mountainside and followed the stone walls. As we got to higher elevation, the views were incredible. We felt sorry for the rest of the group for missing such views. We hiked along with the sheep. We passed a small waterfall, ring forts and many, many stone walls. We could see the beach where we would meet the rest of the group. At the top, we also had views of the Blasket Islands. Our hike ended at Coumeenola Beach. The beach was beautiful with jagged rocks on the edges. We  hiked about 7 miles.                                        Dave gave us a demostration of Hurling- a national Irish game. A bit crazy with a ball and stick. Once agai...

Durnstein and Melk-Austria

Image
This morning we arrived in the small town of Durnstein. One of the apricot centers of Austria. Everything apricot!!!!!!. Liqueurs, schnapps, lotions, soaps, candies and more. This quaint town has a population of 400. They also are surrounded by vineyards and produce many wines, mostly white. They have the perfect climate for white wine grapes.  Durnstein has many historical sites such as the Augustiner Abbey with the beautiful blue clock tower, the remains of Kuenringer Castle where Richard the Lionhearted stayed after the Crusades and a small town area with shops. We tasted many varieties of apricot liqueurs and other products. We are bringing liqueurs home. Walked back to the ship and we sailed thru the Wachau Valley. Vineyards are terraced up the hillsides. Beautiful churches and castles can be seen from the water. We had a picnic lunch on the sky deck as we cruised. Around 2 pm, we arrived in Melk, Austria. We visited the Benedictine Abbey Melk which is the first Benedicti...

Heli HIke onto Franz Josef Glacier

Image
Only 7 of our group chose to do the Heli Hike. The rest will go do a hike in the area. We were dropped off at the tour operators and outfitted with a jacket, pants, socks, boots, mittens, crampons and a bag. Everyone was weighed and then placed in the helicopter. We flew up the valley and landed on the glacier. After a safety briefing and putting on our crampons and getting our hiking pole, our guide, Zac had an axe which he used to cut steps into the ice on steeper sections. He showed us an ice cave and asked if we wanted to go through it. Everyone said yes. He tied a rope on each end and one by one we lowered ourselves down and though. It was wet and very slippery and even a bit scary, but fun. After we finished with that, we hiked up towards the large pieces which Zac told us were over 6 stories tall. The sun came out and you could see the blue ice. Incredible! Some areas were starined and streaky with dirt and sediment which gave them black and white...
