Campervan Adventures in Bavaria: Eibsee & Bremsee & Fungi

The next day we woke up and it was quite cloudy, but we still headed off to hike around Eibsee.

We stopped to take a break and enjoy the view...

And encountered some wild pokemon!

The lake is probably really beautiful when it is a sunny, clear day as the colors would be amazing and you could see some mountains in the background.

This snail was giant! The shell was as big as my fist! I didn't know they got so big

After Eibsee we went into town to pick up a few things then headed back to the campsite...only the gate was down (the gate is closed every day from 12:30-14:30 I believe) so we had to find something else to do. Luckily it was a much nicer day over by our campsite (it was not that far from Eibsee, but the weather was completely different!) and there was another lake close by - Bremsee - so we went to spy on that.

On google maps these benches were marked as romantic benches. We sat here for a bit then headed back to the car

And found so many different mushrooms/fungus along the way!

These were so tiny!

These looked so slimy!

And that was our day. We relaxed at our campsite and had a bit of an easier day. Still, Fitbit recorded 16 km/10 miles

Stupid Libraries.

So I only have six minutes left and just wasted a few seconds letting you know, but I need some assistance in getting things off our iPod onto the net. In the last town we were in, I came so close to getting it up only to be thwarted by the only damn cd -burner in the shop being broken. This is the problem: my iPod is mac formatted - the folks at Apple thought it would be hilarious to not include some sort of compatibility between windows and mac versions of iTunes to read the voice memos you record from any computer. If your iPod formatted on a mac (I believe it's HSF +), windows iTunes will tell you to reformat the buggar . And get this, the iPod records voice memos in old school PC style wav files. What the hell. Anyway, I can't test or install things on this library computer, but if someone checking the blog who is tech savvy could find a program to retrieve data from a mac formatted iPod from a windows machine - a program that doesn't use a god damn install

The First Two Weeks

From In Berlin Hello! So I have been here just over 2 weeks now which is a bit crazy and things are finally coming together. I really like our apartment. Lots of room and it is very quiet as we are a block off the main road. We finally got some furniture last week so the place is not as empty and we actually have chairs to sit on and a bed to sleep in (that is not the noisy air mattress). I even have my craft table set up, but I am still looking for storage for my fabrics and such (the ones I wanted were out of stock). Yesterday I sewed up curtains for the front windows so we can have the privacy blinds (big metal blinds that come down and cover the front windows and are on most of the ground floor windows around town) up and Raymond won't freak out that people can see in.The bedroom/my craft room is pretty much done. The back of the house gets much better light during the day so I set up shop back there to take advantage of it. If I worked in the front rooms I would need the
