London

We weren't there very long but will be able to see more on the way back home.





We were up early the next morning for a flight to Dublin. It was really cold there even though it was the end of May. Our cab driver said it was unusual for it to be that cold. Dublin was a great city that is growing incredibly. Our cab driver said recently there were 70 cranes within the city at various construction sites.

Here is our large suite. Actually this room was large compared to our room in Munich.



We went to the Guinness brewery and were able to have a pint of beer at their roof top bar overlooking the city.



Here is the view from their bar.



We wrapped up our day at the Temple Bar area. It seemed pretty touristy but had a mix of locals too.



Our next morning we go up at 3am to catch our plane to Basel. From Basel we took a train to Interlaken where we were able to slow down a bit. This was our reward on the way to our hotel.



Here is our hotel. It was owned by a guy our age and was a lot of fun. It catered to the younger backpacking crowd mostly.



And our view from the hotel.



One of several clock tower who's bells like to be rung VERY early in the morning and are extremely loud.



Our second day in Interlaken we took a cog train up towards the top of the highest peak in Europe. It stopped in little towns along the way and here is one of them. How do these people live in such an ugly place?



Neither one of us wanted to leave Interlaken but we caught a six hour train to Munich. Their trains are extremely nice and comfortable. We had our own little room in one all to ourselves.

Rathaus is German for city hall or where all the politicians are located. I think they got the name right on. Here is Munich's



We had a lot of fun at the Haufbrau haus which is a large Beer Garden with local regulars. We were lucky enough to have one couple offer us to sit with them for much of the night.





Where does this picturesque path lead?



To another beer garden of course.



We really did do more than just visit beer gardens. We took a tour of the Dachau concentration camp which they have preserved and set up a memorial. It was pretty overwhelming seeing just how big this place was and what exactly happened here. Here is the entrance gate that all the prisoners arrived through. The words are German for

"Work will set you free"




That's it for now. If it will ever stop raining in Salzburg we will get some pictures up of this town. We have been able to relax a bit more now. Kelly has started school and it's pretty tough. The first day they took her on a 5 hour "tour" of the city which meant hiking up and down the various mountains that enclose the town. Now she is in classes where they only speak to her in German.

We miss all of you and are ready to see everyone again. I think we would pay anything for some real iced tea.

Take care and we'll post more soon.
