No, don´t worry, nothng bad has happened to either me or Anita. Rather, we ended up in Austria by accident.
We set out early this morning from München (Munich) hoping to go see Dachau concentration camp, but all museums across Germany are closed on Mondays, so we tried to change our trip to Berchtesgarten and Kehlsteinhaus (-eagle´s Nest - Hitler´s retreat seen at the end of Band of Brothers), but there were problems with the Salzburg railway line getting there. So, instead we ended up taking a train to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, then a cogwheel train and cable car to Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany.
But because of the Schengen treaty, we crossed the border into Austria on the other side of the peak without even knowing it, looking for a restaurant for lunch. We found our restaurant and I thought it fitting to have Wiener Schnitzel for lunch. Now, hopefuly we go back down the correct side of the mountain into Germany, and not into Austria or Italy or Switzerland which can also be seen from here.
Funny you should mention that because I had a bit of a travelling accident yesterday myself. Whilst being whisked westward on QR's all stations to Ipswich service I dozed through Darra to wakeup in Wacol. From the quaint station there I could see several corrective services facilities whilst waiting for the next train to take me home. Jealous?
