After a breakfast consisting of muesli, meats and cheeses, breads, yogurt, etc., we left the Bed and Breakfast located in the Schwangau countryside and began our trip to Salzburg. It is most appropriate that we listen to the Sound of Music soundtrack as we travel the Alpine roads through Bavaria and Austria. I guess we should run out into the meadow and start singing!
There are no cows in the fields as the grass is not yet tall enough so the milk cows are still inside their winter home. Apparently the milk cows are always kept inside, but the calves will come out next weekend and spend their time in the luxurious meadows giving them time to become big and strong. There are several small huts in each of the grazing fields which are used for storing hay. Apparently the cows are quite picky about their hay and it must be stored very carefully or the cows won’t eat it!
Stopped for lunch in Bayrischvell, Germany. We are so out of our element in Germany with the language. It’s such a wonderful thing to have my friend, Annette Klassen, be our travel guide for a few days. The menu in restaurants can be especially daunting, but we tried some new things, even though we’re not quite sure what everything was. Lowell did manage to find a non-alcoholic beer. Cheers!
