Today was possibly the most scenic and beautiful day we've had yet on our trip. It started right away with a beautiful drive through the Alps; 75 degrees, sunny and enjoying the convertible was a beautiful way to wake up. (We also ran into much less construction, so Patrick was finally able to really enjoy driving on the autobahn and windy mountain roads.
At Konigsee, we took a boat ride across the lake to the little abbey and national park that was there. Take a look at the photos-this is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. We took a little hike in the national forest, but unfortunately we didn't have the time for the long hikes up to the ice caves or other sights.
After spending a few hours exploring, we took the boat back across the lake, hopped back in the car and drove straight up the mountain (minus a quick stop for a herd of cows being led down the mountain by a police officer) to the Eagle's Nest. I hadn't realized that you aren't really able to see inside the building at all, so this was a quick trip, but another one with a beautiful view-this time down at the lake and everything we'd just been driving through.
