A Few Days in Southern Germany

Hallo again!

Continuing on from our trip to Austria, we flew from Vienna to Frankfurt, where we proceeded to take a train to Koblenz.  The entire week was a week of nostalgia for my sister because she had begun her journey in Salzburg 10 years ago, and had taught at a school in Montabaur (near Koblenz, which is between Frankfurt and Cologne) 4 years ago.  Though we only spent a few days there, it was enough time to get a good sense of the surrounding area.  The weather was cloudy and chilly, but the vibe was great!  I had some amazing views, took a tour of a castle, and visited various Christmas markets :)

It was a great trip, travelling through Austria and parts of Southern Germany.  Taking the train back to Hamburg was also a good experience because I was able to see a lot of Germany!  It was a wonderful experience, and I'm glad you were all able to take a glimpse into my week.  Until next time - cheers!
