A Trip Through Germany!

So our spring break starts soon and we have a fabulous trip planned out. We love to visit Europe and have been to many cities… but some of you may or may not know…my favorite destination is Italy. Well, I love to go to Ireland as well… I am always ready to go to either of those countries… So, when it came time to plan this vacation, of course, I suggested Italy… but my husband and daughter did not agree (surprise, surprise)… we threw around a few destinations and decided on Germany. We have been for a few days here and there but have never done the entire vacation in Germany. So, Germany it was… we started doing research and decided on flying into Munich and flying out of Berlin. We opted to take trains to travel from the South to the North of the country. We are big on public transportation and actually love traveling in trains, especially in Europe… plus one gets to really pay attention to all the surroundings, sitting in a train or bus.

Usually my criteria for choosing a destination is first and foremost… food… it has to be yummy food. I guess that is why Germany never came up. I have been there before and the breads are delicious and so are the pretzels but after a while one gets a bit tired of the sausage, etc. But I think the big cities should be filled with all kinds of cuisines including German, of course,  so I think I am looking forward to all of that. Actually my very good German friend thought it was about time we gave Germany a chance- she mentioned how the Italian food is really good in the south of the country.
To me the food is extremely important … I like to explore the city/country of choice  by going through the grocery stores, finding local eateries and enjoying the local people….I am hoping to do the same in Germany.

So, join me next week as I explore Germany- Munich, one night in Salzburg, Nuremberg and then Berlin! It should be great fun… look out for my posts from location!!
