| Lake Königssee |
What do Australians with no snow and ice driving do when it snows? They drive for 2 hours on the wrong side of the road just to visit a lake. We briefly discussed alternative plans should the rail strike go ahead, but there wasn't much we could do until they announced the strike, and we were assured that 48 hours notice would be given by the rail workers union, so why not go on a road trip! We had a family vote the night before on the destination. Charming Bavarian villages was voted out almost immediately. It was a close one between Lake Königssee and Neuschwanstein Castle and the former won.
The change of pace was actually nice. The change in mode of transport was also nice. We were able to play our own music on a spotify family jam on the drive. The drive to Lake Königssee was scenic. German roads were in excellent condition and it was well signed. I won't bore you with the details of our Lake visit as it was mostly just enjoying nature and playing with snow. However, the restaurant where we took refuge from the cold served up the best German meal as voted by the children!
Fingers crossed for tomorrow that we can actually make it to Frankfurt for our flight home!

| Those buildings are boat houses! |
 |
| You can't see it but the water was very clear |

| Warm and cozy |

| I may have become a beer drinker, especially as it was cheaper than coke here! |

| The servings were huge. Turkey, hash brown, and mushrooms |
