No description Today was another tour day. We were headed to Vipiteno, Italy
to tour the town with some stops along the way. The first stop
was to take pictures of the Brenner Pass, which is the highest
bridge in Germany. Very cool. Next stop was a beautiful 10th
century castle owned by the countess in the family. It was
almost a private tour of the castle. Very beautiful and very
old. After the castle we stopped at an Italian restaurant
for lunch which was very filling. The next stop was an Italian
church that was absolutely gorgeous and very old. After the church
we headed into Vipiteno to walk around for a while. After that
we started back to Garmisch. Our bus driver even yodeled for
us on the way back. For dinner we ate at Frauendorfer's
which had excellent food and an accordion player who could also
yodel. Then it was time to relax and hit the hay.
