No Weisswurst Along The Way Home
By Lothar. Filed in Germany |
On our trip through Bavaria, we feel like eating Weisswurst. But no such luck. The Autobahnraststaette Hofoldinger Forst outside Munich does not have Weisswurst on the menu. We make a detour and stop at the Erdinger Weissbraeu in Erding, but it is 1 PM. They stop serving Weisswurst at 12 noon! At least, they did not run out of my favorite Weissbier! We are back in Wuerzburg at 5 PM and relax in the Novotel pool and sauna. On Saturday morning, we sleep in and miss Weisswurst breakfast. In the evening, we are invited to dinner at Maria and Rolf’s house in Rodenbach. Maria is spoiling us with a tasty Sauerbraten and we spend a nice evening together. It is late when we check into the Novotel Frankfurt Niederrad. I leave our suitcases on the luggage cart in our room. We are only here for 7 hours. On Sunday morning, we are back at the Frankfurt Airport. Gabi is disappointed with the security check. We do not have to take off our shoes and even though we fly on Continental, there is only one check, where there used to be two.
Continental 119 takes off at 9 AM, and our 777 flies all the way north to Bergen, Norway, before we head west across the Atlantic. We have strong headwinds and fly further north. 8 hours later, we see Saratoga Lake, Albany and the Hudson River right below us. We could parachute from the plane and would land right on our property. Unfortunately, the airlines do not offer this drop off service!
We land in Newark at 12 Noon and drive back to Clifton Park, where we arrive at 3:45 PM. There is still no snow here this winter!
