Aachen, Germany

Aachen, Germany. Burial place of Charlemagne and bloody memory site from WW2.

Despite this train station pix, it’s really quite beautiful here. The city seems to be nestled into rolling forested hills. Hints of orange and yellow suggest autumn is in the air.

The geography is a bit more robust than what we’ve experienced in Belgium.

We did but we didn't do Oberammergau

We walked into town dragging our rollybags. Across the river we found the village of Oberammergau rimmed by mountains as full of boutique hotels, galeries, and kitschy shops. I fingered my phone hoping to find an open wifi signal and a message with further instructions.
