Spartacus_33's European Adventure

Message: Well... I'm back. Thanks to all of your who helped me plan the trip.

Special thanks to Wayne (although I didn't get a chance to stay at the hotels you suggested) and to Intrepid1. I stayed at the Acanthus in Munich as you recommended. Greg wants to know who you are so he can thank you too.

Click here for a little web site I threw together http://home.earthlink.net/~spartacus_33/

Thanks,
Spartacus_33

Welcome back.
How did the car perform in the awful weather.
I like the Acanthus, but nearly froze in late Sept '02 during O'Fest.

OMG Steve,
I forgot about that parking garage @ Acanthus - it was a nightmare.
I think my friends' recs about ED in June-Sept are valid.

Loved the website, the photos of Munich in the sanow, all the food photos, and the story of Diane's earrings. The new Beemer is awesome. Enjoy!

I have a 1999 528i with summer tires.. so I already knew how helpless this car would be..... I was surprised. The only snow I had to drive in was at the castle, the autobahn was just wet. I took it up to 120 and WOW... what a rush, haven't done that since High School!

I am happy to hear that the Acanthus worked out for you and that overall your trip was successful. I'm always a bit reluctant to make hotel &quot;recommendations&quot; since everyone seems to have their own &quot;requirements&quot; when it comes to places to stay, myself included.

Cheers!

Thanks for the link to your website. The picture of Neuschwanstein is absolutely lovely. We will be there in a few months for the first time and I can't wait. We were in Munich in March of last year and it was beyond cold, but somehow the cold is more bearable in Europe than at home! Sounds like you had a great trip.

My favorite photo of Neuschwanstein is the one with my new car just below it. Many of my friends didn't see the castle in the picture, so I edited it this morning by drawing a circle around the castle......

Intrepid.... The people at the Acanthus want to know who you are.... you don't have to tell me.. you can e-mail them directly and mention that you are the one who sent Spartacus there... they'll know who I am.
