Alps, Germany (December 2008)

I highly recommend the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort; the staff was incredibly friendly, we had mountain view rooms, the food was awesome, and the huge fireplace with rocking chairs in the lounge set the mood.

We walked up to Neuschwanstein Castle, but did not go in, opting to stay on the grounds instead. We walked Partnach Gorge near the 1936 winter Olympic stadium, and went up the Zugspitze, also known as the highest peak in Germany. Awesome! Right before we left, I got a chocolate massage too. I smelled like chocolate and peppermint all the way home.
