Dad and I spent our Chinese New Year in Austria and Germany, where I drank a lot of hot chocolate, as I mentioned in my last post. Obviously, that’s not all I did, so this week is all about everything else.

In Hallstatt, we found a cute square with a nice sausage restaurant to eat dinner. Later, we returned to the square and stood in the cool winter air for at least an hour looking at the lights.

We went to Füssen for the purpose of seeing Neuschwanstein castle, but then we found out that we were supposed to book our tickets in advance. We went anyway, though, and just walked around. Ate more sausages.

On our last night of vacation, the fire alarm in our hotel went off. Dad and I rushed out into the hallway, but no one else seemed bothered. Then, we stood on the balcony and watched the fire truck arrive and then leave. We still don’t know what that was about.

You can’t really tell, but this river is SUPER clear. It is one of the clearest water bodies I have ever seen, second only to Dahab, Egypt.

As soon as we got off the ferry to Hallstatt, Dad slipped on the ice and fell down. It was mortifying. Thanks, Dad. 😂❤️
Really, though, it was an amazing trip and I’m so thankful that I got to experience all of it. See you next week!💕
