Travel to Brazil

The trip to Brazil was very short, we could not do even half of what we planned, alias apologize to friends and family who could not visit.
But even though we lost four days of vacation for having lost the plane here in Munich, it was nice walking in Brazil and review staff.

Travel to Croatia

Last weekend I went to visit relatives in Croatia, along with my son Stefan. Despite the long journey by bus, 12 hours, was very good. Got to meet some cousins ​​of my father as well as his aunt. Aunt Eva is 85 years and despite the health problems is very lucid and humorous.
Jarmina, the hometown of my grandparents, totally changed after two wars, the only thing that remains is the original church, which despite having lost the last war the tower was remodeled.
The family is well now, they were 10 years without being able to return home because of the war. And now for 10 years who are rebuilding everything was destroyed. The aftermath of the war are still visible in the city and the people, but Croatia is slowly recovering.

Zugspitze


I enjoyed the holiday last week to meet the Zugspitze , Germany's highest mountain. For who is in Munich is not the mountain far, getting the 1:30 am train to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Once there you need to buy another ticket for the train and for the lifts.

It is certainly not a cheap ride, but worth it. There are two ways up and down, but I recommend going up the chairlift from Eibsee (Altitude 1000m) directly to the summit (2962m altitude). Getting up there have a wonderful view, but getting on top of a concrete structure, with bars, very safe even for children, this structure has a small museum, a small restaurant, a coffee and a weather station.

Only 348m down on the other we lift to the glacier, or glacier, which is a plateau where there is snow all year round. This glacier has a larger restaurant, very good alias, and plenty of snow for the "children" brincarem.Para took the train down from the glacier, but the following 20 minutes of tunnels, and more nearly an hour getting to Garmisch-Partenkirchen actually better as an option for descida.E not to lose the custom made ​​many photos and even edited the footage.
