The sixth day was all about going to Germany! Of course, first, we had to start out our day by having breakfast at Café Vordergasse. I'm craving it as I type this. So good! I had a brioche and my first 4-minute egg!


Ashton's friend from Alabama, Laura lives on an Air Base in Ramstein, so we made a trip to go see her and her family.

The Autobahn was fun! Stephen drove the rental car and at one point I think we were moving at 120 mph, which is the fastest I've ever travelled in a car. Most of the Autobahn doesn't have a speed limit, so cars were going a lot faster than we're used to in America. There are some sections with speed limits, but we only ran into a couple of those. I drive like a grandpa, so the speed was as thrilling as it was scary. I slept in the backseat for most of the trip—ha ha.



We settled into our hotel and went to Paradox for pizza—so much cheese! We tried their version of a Hugo and it just wasn't the same as our first one in Zürich.

Laura's family is the cutest. She had a baby two weeks before we saw her, so she and Shawn had their hands full with an infant and a toddler. It was nice to see some fellow Americans in Europe.


For dinner, we went to New York Döner to pick up some food. I had a schnitzel döner—my first schnitzel! It was kind of like a gyro, but with pork. The Sprite in Germany is a lot different than America's. It was more refreshing because it didn't have loads of sugar in it—only 5 grams for half a liter!

We spent the rest of the night visiting with Laura and her family, then headed back to the hotel.

There are 300+ more pictures I couldn't possibly fit into one blog post, so I uploaded a slideshow. Check it out here: Switzerland 2015: Photo Album
