GERMANY!!!


GERMANY!!!
We arrived in MUNICH!!!! YEAH!!! It feels absolutely surreal to actually be here! We had a good flight from Toronto, and I slept close to 4 ½ hours on the plane.



We picked up the rental car at the immaculate airport, and headed toward Fussen, a small town  2 hours from Oberstdorff, where our race starts.
Driving through the countryside, we were amazed at how beautiful and clean this part of Germany was! We stopped in a small village for authentic Italian Pizza (I know, Italian pizza in Germany….) and headed to Fussen. Fussen is surrounded by smaller mountains and has a beautiful lake on the outskirts.
We’re staying in a hostel in Fussen for 2 nights….tight quarters, and we’re going to get to know each other pretty quickly!!!
We had a great meal at the hostel, a little bit more of a german influence this time, having gnocchi and salad and soup- delicious! I made myself eat, as it is a struggle just to stay awake today!!!
We’re making ourselves stay up to 8pm so that we won’t wake up in the middle of the night, and can get up early for a quick run before going for a tour of the castle here, and hopefully another hike in the afternoon……
Goodnight.
