Photogallery Day 1: Arrival in Switzerland by tilster Posted on 3 October, 201513 August, 2019 Gallery Leaving Bahrain airport, packed and loaded. Our favorite airline – waiting to board in Amsterdam. We had arrived! We were really here! It wasn’t a dream! Our packs cocooned in plastic wrap to protect all the straps. Waiting for the train to Konstanz at the Zurich Airport. Our first view of our hotel, the Hotel Trompeterschlössle, a seriously cool hotel. There were lots of gardens surrounding the hotel. These were red cabbages. View from our hotel terrace. A little room on the hotel terrace. What a perfect place to bring our journals up to date! View from the church steps of the square where the parade was forming up. The front doors of the church. What a way to start a pilgrimage! We were looking for a church and found … Octoberfest!! Marchers enjoying a last beer before marching off. Instruments everywhere! A view of the Konstanz Kathedral from where we sat enjoying the goings on. One of many ‘bakers’ carrying my favorite – pretzels – in the Octoberfest opening day parade. Share this:TwitterFacebookEmailPrintLike this:Like Loading...
