Changes

With us now having a car, we now have the ability to visit places we most likely would not have had the time or modes of transport to reach.
Our first night was going to be in the city of Salzburg, Austria. I had picked Salzburg as a central location to get to Berchtesgaden, Germany. In Bertchtesgaden is the Eagle's Nest. The WWII summer home of Adolf Hitler. We have booked a tour of the Eagle's Nest and it's bunkers. They say the views of the Alps from the EN are tremendous. We are now getting to stay at a highly rated B&B in the Austrian village of Leogang. Leogang is in a ski resort town up in the Alps. During the warmer months it is a hub for mountain biking. We are finding that with a car, we can stay in very nice places for the same cost as the city hostels. Way cool!

Another change is that we will now stay in the coastal village of Levanto, Italy as our jumping off place for the Cinque Terra. We were going to stay in the city of La Spezia. This will save us each 10 Euro a night. We still are planning on finding a room in the Cinque Terra for the next two nights, but the car gives us a lot more flexibility if we cannot book the needed room.
More to come...
