Just wanted to share how our awesome trip to Germany and Austria went. I decided to share in the form of a short video... Part 1 is finished and covers our first three days in Fussen.
Our stay started in mid September. We had almost perfect weather the entire time, except the day when we visited Linderhof.
The first day was spent mostly relaxing at the park & lake across the street and checking out Fussen (which was one of our favorite cities on the trip). We just loved the mix of mountains, farmlands, cows, and small little windy roads(gps a must!). Then the next day we checked out the castles. Zac handled most of the day pretty well... got a little too tired after the hike up to Marienbrücke... which was disappointing because I was sooo looking forward to the hike past it to grab the those postcard pics of the castle!
anyway here is the video!

Part 2: will cover mittenwald, zugspitze, G.P, Alpine road, etc.
hopefully that will be done in a couple weeks!

Very nice video work; looking forward to more. I am wondering what permissions you needed to use the music you used. My husband put some videos on YouTube using copyrighted music and it was pulled...he ended up having to compose his own music.
azzure thanks for your comments! sorry im not an expert in the music area
Loved your video! We also loved Fuessen and look forward to part 2 of your trip!

What a cute little boy you have! Also loved the video.
Nice video. We went to that Fuessen in March. It was great fun for us to see and be in snow but your video makes me want to go back when the weather is nice
Thanks for sharing.
Just posted part 2! thanks again for your comments!

DonnyMartin: Just a hint --it is usually better to post all parts of a trip report on the same thread. That way folks don't have to jump around to find all the bits . . .
Did you bring your own GPS? I am in the beginning stages of planning our first vacation to Germany and would love some tips! Great video!
We always take our own GPS. We bought a Nuvi that has both European and North American maps. It has been a life saver IMO. Before leaving home, we pre-program our GPS with our hotel addresses and any other sights we know we will be visiting.
Thanks for the replys! We just bought the germany/austria download for 60ish bucks. our car came with a gps but we couldnt overcome the language barrier in the gps, so we were sooo glad we bought the add on.
Your video of your trip and especially your darling little boy brought a big smile to my face!! So adorable! Thanks for posting it.
What a fun, innovative way to do a trip report! We are bringing our son with us to Italy this summer when he will be 19 months. Any tips for plane entertainment? We took him to Greece as a 7 month old but there is a world of difference...!
Just posted the 3rd and final video from Austria & Berteschgaden. http://vimeo.com/37841869
It's a beautiful video but I must warn you that it's ILLEGAL to post videos using third-party content (i.e. the music) unless you have permission to do so. Read the Vimeo guidelines.
