Oktober 10 - Triberg

Spent the morning walking through Lindau (slept in a bit) and climbing a lighthouse that overlooks their manmade bay. It has a lighthouse on one end and a tall statue of a lion...the bavarian lion! But we were not in Bayern long before we went back into the state of Baden-Würtemburg. Up along the Bodensee we drove and then entered the enchanting Schwarzwald...the Black Forest!

Ryan really got the car into gear as we drove mostly alone on rural roads through switchbacks and into valleys with views that made us gush! Stopped in at the Deutsches Uhren museum...a clock museum. It had...well...lots of clocks. Tons. We have pictures to show you of our confusion over the amount of clocks.

Another hairraising...er I mean...fantastic drive through switchbacks down to the beautiful town of Triburg, home of Black Forest Cookoo clocks! The hotel we chose (again just randomly) was beautiful and had a balcony in our room that faced the famous waterfall. It cascades about 100 meters down these granite steps and the sound was so relaxing to sleep to. When we arrived they let us know we were the only guests for the night so was it ok if we had breakfast at 9? Haha! 2 other rooms were rented by the end of the night we noticed, however. That would have been strange to be alone.

Ate there for dinner (it was very very good...I had a steak and Ryan had a pork steak with cheese on top) and of course had Black Forest cake. Yum! Went to bed around 11.
