John and I were looking forward to doing a lot of hiking in the Bavarian Alps and the Black Forest in southwest Germany.
We had some challenges with the weather. It didn't want to cooperate.
Turns out this has been the wettest weather in Germany since 1881.
Which would explain why everything is so green and lush.
We did get some hikes in, and, we got to experience the local hospitality with "honour system" beer tubs and schnapps tasting.
