(travel diary) Skiing in the Alps

Category: Bavaria, 2006
We took the Zugspitze-bahn (train) from Garmisch hauptbahnof (central station) to the Eibsee Seilbahn (the Eibsee cable car) at the foot of Germany's highest mountain: the Zugspitz (2964 m).

Some Eibsee Seilbahn data:
- Length: 4450 m
- Altitude difference: 1950 m!
- Duration: about 10 minutes

Unfortunately, the windows in the cable car were very icy so I've have no video clips from it.

Since we would only ski one day, we decided to visit the ski area at the highest altitude, at the zugspitze plateau (about 2000-2950 above sea level). It was very beautiful here, above the clouds. Clear blue sky and hot in the sun. The snow was perfect! Tobbe was doing great even though this was his first time skiing.

Got home to the Fischer's at about 18:00. We felt that we needed some resting before doing anything else. Planned was to visit a internet café and maybe play some pool, but instead we slept all night.

För lite snö hemma och dessutom för pyttiga berg :)
Hoppas vi kan köra lite biljard snart igen. Jag övade lite på egen hand i garmisch-partenkirchen.. rätt bra bord faktiskt. Kön var dock lite skum (räfflad på bakre sidan där man höll).
Aaker tillbaka till Munchen i morgon, ska enligt tradition försöka utmana någon av invånarna där :)
