A few weekends ago we played tourist in our own city. There was a holiday celebrating some Catholic holiday here in Bavaria and Simon had a Thursday off. We headed to the Munich Residenz. The Residenz is the former palace of the Bavaria rulers up until 1918. A lot of the palace was destroyed due to WWII, but it was reconstructed.

The next morning Simon had to go back to work. When I checked my email first thing in the morning I found a little from Simon. He had booked a room for us at Schliersee for the weekend. It is the same apartments that we got to for Christmas. He put in a request at work 8 months ago and never told me. It was a wonderful surprise. I packed quickly and we took a train out that afternoon.
Here we are on the row boat on Lake Schliersee.
We took a bus to Spitzingsee and hiked around the lake.
We found some cows with awesome bells around their necks.
The weekend was kind of overcast, but the sun came out right as we were finishing our hike.
