For the past 16 days, Luke and I have been out of Scotland and exploring the general area of Bavaria. We actually started in Bohemia, but I will be honest, does anyone really know the difference? I am sure a local to one of those places is furious with me for saying that right now. Oh well!
We. Did. So. Much. It was fun, exhausting, exciting, informative, and in some parts, it could have been better. Overall, it was one of the most terrific experiences I have ever had. We took over 2,500 pictures between the two of us. I am unsure of how I will tell you about each experience because I have so much to say. What we did. What we saw. What we toured. Where we walked. What we ate. What we drank. What was a favorite. What could have been changed. How I managed with one backpack. What a hostel was like. How we communicated with the locals. How managed without a washing machine. How I exercised. How did we travel from one place to another. Again, so much to say! So until I decide, I will leave you with a few pictures with a few comments of each day.

The rooftops were covered in snow which enhanced the wonderfulness of Salzburg.
