Happy New Year to you all On Goy

43 comments


Happy New Year everyone on GOY. we are back after taking Christmas in Germany,the delays were horrendous but thank goodness the Euro Star was delayed after having to take 5 trains from Yorkshire to St Pancras, lines down, we travelled to Garmish – Partenkichen, what a lovely place to visit, we went to the highest mountain in Germany, what an experience, all the way up the mountain by cog train, from here you could see Austria Italy and of course Germany, we had a sleigh ride on Christmas morning, went to visit the castles of mad King Ludvig, well worth a visit but hard work as they are so high up, we had a day in Innsbruck.and so much more. the Hotel was fantastic and the staff so helpful and friendly. I have added many photos for you to look at, I do hope you will enjoy them and not get too bored.

A happy new year from me as well yorkshire. I must say that I love Germany too. May I just tell you of a funny incident that happened to me today...new years day, last night we had all the fireworks etc etc, so this morning I took a walk down to my datcha, me dressed in my wooly hat, big thick jacket, scarve and gloves and carrying a plastic bag from Aldi..really looking a big scruff, I was picking up all the wooden sticks from the spent rockets...they make wonderful sticks to tie plants on, well this fairly posh lady saw me and asked what I was going to do with them....I just told her I was looking for fire wood, I bet she thought "poor old sod", I had to laugh about it....sorry to be a little off topic.

Oh Yorks, you went on the same holiday as we did but we went in May last year, this is the hotel we stayed at, also the castles we visited, I did do a blog, amazing the difference in the snow, did you go on a 'great train journey holiday' by any chance? Wasnt the hotel suberb run by such a nice family, we also went up the mountain by the cog train and there was a lot of snow even at that time of year. Glad you enjoyed it, I know we did, your photos are lovely.

Thanks Uma, and Milky, yes we did have a fantastic time,glad you liked the photos Helen, I.m sure you could paint the lake San, have a go, thank you Hywel, so glad you enjoyed looking at something different, as for you Rogi, well I have been trying to picture you looking like a scruff carrying your Aldi bag, bet it was so funny,hope you got plenty of rocket sticks, GMadge,I just can't believe we have been on the same Holiday, it was brilliant, and as you say the staff in the Hotel were wonderful, and yes it was Great Rail Journeys, have you been on any of the other holidays with them, don't know if I would recommend doing the castles in the snow, I have come home with a dead leg, having to use a walking stick, so glad you enjoyed the photos Neellan, Hi Bloomer so glad you made it for your holiday, kept thinking about you,you are so right the transport was dire but thanks to British rail staff they got us to London, they were wonderful,thank you Littlelegs, I am so pleased you enjoyed looking,

Yorks, this was our first hol. with GRJ. we went to see the passion play in Oberammagau as part of this holiday, amazing, however dont think we would do it again because of the lifting up and down of the luggage, nightmare! I panicked a bit especially when we had to 'run' to another platform to catch the next train. Did you stay one night in the 'Wasserturm' hotel in Cologne? How incredible that was! When we went to the castles it was pouring with torrential rain and we got soaked to the skin, I am glad we went but boy was it wet.

2 Jan, 2011

 

Gmage, we stayed at the four points hotel in Cologne, I know what you are saying about lifting the luggage, My OH orgonised the men to pass it off the train which made it so much easier for everyone,I admire you for running to catch the train, afraid I would have had to let it go, you don't get many minutes to get the luggage on and off, what a nightmare all that rain you had when you went to visit the castles.

Happy New Year to you , Yorks.
Great blog, many thanks for that I really enjoyed it. Really good photographs.
What is the name of the highest mountain in Germany then?
I should ask Herr Google perhaps and not pester you, hee hee. We lived in Germany for a long time, but the flattest bit imaginable, where they said that you could see on Wednesday who was coming to tea on Sunday...
What I wouldn't have given for a hill, let alone all these mountains, lol.

5 Jan, 2011

 

Hi Weeding,
The name of the mountain is "Zugspitze " now ask me anonther. Lol, so glad you enjoyed the photos, I loved what you had to say about who was coming for tea on Sunday, brilliant,

Can't take the credit for that one, it's an old Schleswig Holstein chestnut I think. The old ones are the best!
