Visit To Southern Germany
2 to 16 August, 2005
By Michael Lloyd
This visit was mainly in Bavaria but some days were in other parts of Southern Germany and Austria. We started by flying to Munich airport. Then we picked up two hire minibuses. Next we drove 144 km west to the small town of Memmingen. On Monday 8 August we drove back to Munich where we stayed for the rest of the trip. When in Memmingen we stayed in Drexel's Parkhotel, and in Munich we stayed in Hotel Brunnenhof.
