Dacau & Austria



One of the 4 crematoria ovens.....

We visited the Dacau concentration camp 30Km's from Berlin. It was so depressing and sad, nearly 250,000 souls we murdered during the 10 odd years the camp operated, enough said...


Hitlers Tea House, above the Eagles Nest

Berchestgarden, famous for being the home of Adolf Hitler, it's one of the best parts of the trip so far, it is so beautiful here, we went up to Hitlers Tea Rooms on the top of one of the highest mountains in Germany, it is exactly preserved as it was in 1938, built for Hitlers 50th birthday. The views were breathtaking, and it was one of the few days it was relatively clear, only had the clouds come in for a short time. The Eagles Nest, from which Hitler planned most of his war stratagies is about 200 metres below, but all but one of the 80 buildings wre detroyed after the war.

We stopped at lovely little place last night called Roseheim and stayed at a lovely guest house with a little verandah and had a good rest.

Dropped into a pretty village called Fucking, tried to pinch the sign, but we were being watched by the Fucking police, Fucking garage owner across the road and a lot of other Fucking towns people, next time maybe. Still havent made Salzberg yet. Seen a lot of Smart cars and Yaris cars in Germany. Still meeting lots of lovely people on our travels, and the locals are pleasant. We're staying in the small villages on the trip, hence many of the locals don.t speak English, but we're coping. Tomorrow we will try Innsbruck and maybe do a train trip to Vienna to sight see.
Then we will be off to Lichenstein and then to Switzerland by the 5 October. We are having a ball, and glad that things are going ok, looking forward to the UK.
