So I have been working hard (at vacation planning, not real work!) and have narrowed down where we will be stayong for our 16 days in Europe. So here goes:
- Day 1 (Sunday May 17) - Arrive in Frankfurt! Rent a car and drive to Wurzburg, Germany for the night.
- Day 2 - Explore the "Romantic Road" - 200 miles of road in Bavaria leading through Medieval towns with tons of castles! Sleep in Fussen, Germany
- Day 3 - More castles :) Drive to Munich!!
- Day 4 and 5 - Play in Munich! Beer, bikes, Bavarians and (bunches of?) fun.
- Day 6 - Head back to Switzerland. Explore Interlaken (again) and maybe do some extreme sports.
- Day 7 and 8 -Train, bus, then cable car to Gimmelwald. There are no cars in this Alpine town, and we'll be away from everything except cows and mountains.
- Day 9 and 10 (May 25-26) - Off to Italy! We'll be spending two nights on the shores of the Mediterranean, near Portofino, and we are staying in a CASTLE!!!
- Day 11 - Laying on the beach in Finale Ligure, Italy. Scuba, sun and gelatto.
- Day 12 - Crossing into France. Hitting up Monaco, too, while we're at it :) Staying near Nice.
- Day 13 - Beautiful people and trendiness in Cannes
- Day 14 (May 30th and MY 24th BIRTHDAY!!) - The heart of Provence in Aix-en-Provence. Wine, lavender fields and lots of cheese, and nutella I hope.
- Day 15 - Into Marseille. Last night in Europe :'(
- Day 16 - Leave at noon...after several layovers, tons of airport meals, and a lot of jet lag, get home at 11pm PST.
- Day 17 - Cry and go back to work.
Well that's what we have so far! I even made an interactive map - you can zoom in and track us below:
