If it’s up to me, I can get used to this very easily! We have a great time here despite almost all of us being handicapped more or less, permanently or temporarily. My mom sleeps a lot, she catches up on all those hours she has trouble with at home. Ted, the only un-handicapped” in our little party of four, goes hiking and I swim. 58 laps today and my knee is happy! I also get all kinds of spa treatments, some are more helpful for the knee (Breiß-Dorn massage, foot reflexology), some a little less (facial and I wonder why?). Whatever it is, I can get used to this, wouldn’t you?
Tuesday, after our walk around town, we went on a brewery tour here at Adam Bräu. The hotel we’re staying at is called Adam Bräu, so is the brewery and the adjacent restaurant. The beer is only produced for those three venues and not sold anywhere else and – it is tasty! YES, tasty!
Yesterday my sister Petra with husband Erwin came for a visit and we went to the „Glasvillage Weinfurtner“ in Arnsdorf, 10km away from Bodenmais. We were overwhelmed by everything! The size (it is literally a village!) the beauty, the endless diversity of glass, everything was a stimulation of the senses!
And today? I had the whole spa to myself! Luckily I’m only 58, so I swam 58 laps, relaxed in the whirlpool, sauna, shower, OMG! It is 10.30am and I’m ready for a nap!
In the meantime Ted is going on a hike with a group that’s organized by the village. You can tell them the evening before and they come pick you up and guide you to one of those many hikes around the area here. There are beautiful mountains around us, ~4000 ft high, with waterfalls, lakes, caves, mines, etc. photos will be posted in the next blog!
Yesterday, Ted went on a hike with Petra & Erwin to a waterfall. They had fun together, enjoyed the scenery and deserved a hearty lunch!
