Day 5

We woke up to another sunny day on our fifth day. (Quite amazing, here in Germany, lol) We were scheduled to go on a tour called Cake By The Lake. It was another half day tour, so we slept in, had a nice breakfast and then headed over to the PX to pick up a few things. (There is an Army base there, too) We met up with our group and started our walk-it was a little more than a walk, but not really a hike. We saw some paragliders when we first started out, and walked right by their landing site. On our way to the lake we stopped by and saw the bobsled run from the 1936 Winter Olympics. We were able to go inside the bobsled shed and see the bobsleds that the Germans used. We also got to meet the Captain of the team that won the gold in 1952. The kids were also able to sit in the bobsled that the Germans used when they won the gold that year. Then we went on to the lake. It was absolutely beautiful. We were surrounded by mountains, right by a lake. There is a restaurant there that we went to and had cake (thus, Cake by the Lake) The cake was really good, too! Afterwards we walked back down, and just as we arrived back at the lodge, it started to rain. That evening we went on a buggy ride through Garmisch. It was a lot of fun!

The pictures: The bobsled run, paragliders, the kids in the winning bobsled, the lake and the restaurant we stopped at, all four of us, Jamie and the kids in the buggy. I don't know what happened that the pics are all out of order...but at least they're on there:)
