There was a conspiracy brewing against us, and we seemed to miss all the shuttles going to where we wanted to go. But we prevailed. We ended up renting a VW Golf, and went to Partnach Gorge, by ways of the Olympic ski jump center. Apparently, the Olympic Ski Stadium was built for up to 100,000 spectators, with a restaurant and VIP viewing area, but was never used due to WWII.

Vienna Sausage! It didn't taste like the vienna sausage we normally get in cans, it tasted like hot dogs!

After lunch at the stadium, we rode a horse drawn carriage up to the start of Partnach Gorge, which would have been a 20 minute walk…make that 35 with Neta. The gorge was gorge-ous (haha), very clean and clear water rushing through a deep gorge. The walkway was cutout about 40 feet above the river in the side of the mountain, and was very narrow, damp and dark.

Jarett insisted we get a picture of him driving the VW Golf, and kept saying "look at me, I'm driving in Europe!"

After we visited the gorge, we headed to Alpspix, catching a very steep tram to the top, which is 9717.848 feet in altitude! The views were gorgeous, and we stayed for a while taking pictures and enjoying beers. We also watched para-gliders jump from the top, which was knee buckling!
