We have arrived safely in Passau, Germany! Our travel began on Monday at noon, and didn't end until 22 hours later on Tuesday evening - a very grueling day! We did get some sleep here and there along the way - four hours on the plane to London, and a couple one-hour naps in airports and on the short flight to Munich. We then took a two-hour train to Passau, and a taxi to our hotel. Devlin is working here for Hewlett-Packard until Saturday - and very conveniently, HP is in the same building as our hotel! All he has to do is go downstairs, and he's at work. :)
As a result of our long travel day, I was very lazy Wednesday morning. After we had breakfast in the hotel cafe (cold meats and cheese, a roll with "krauten" cream cheese - this means "herbs" in German - mainly chives, I think), and Devlin went downstairs for work, I got straight back in bed. I took out my tablet and my knitting and put on "Ratatouille." It was wonderful, and so relaxing, and I finished one sleeve for my Notre Dame de Grace sweater!
But, after lunch, I was ready for an excursion into the outside world. I went on a 5km (3 mile) run from the hotel, first through some beautiful woods, then chugged up a very steep hill, and then down again, and finally, became lost in a residential area. Luckily though, with my phone's gps, I was able to meander until I found my way back again. :) Here are some pictures from my run - the trees are all changing colors, and it was fun to see different styles of houses! The one below is rather neat.
And now, to take a break from blogging/travel planning - I'm going to go knit! In bed. And probably I'll watch an episode of Poirot. :D
