Job Description: On a marvelous evening in late September we boarded a KLM flight to Stuttgart in Germany to begin our European adventure. We would be gone for 4 weeks, exploring the German, Swiss, Austrian and Danish countryside and all this was only possible due to the help and generosity of our German IPA friends!

In Stuttgart, our hosts Eugen & Sabine (regular visitors to Cape Town and Timour Hall Villa), assisted us in securing reasonably priced accommodation where no IPA houses were located. They also took us to stay in the Bavarian Alps for 4 days at the beginning of our trip and it was here that we got to visit Konigssee Lake and Hitler’s Eagles Nest. Back in Stuttgart, we were able to attend the official opening of the 164th Canstatt Volksfest – the 2nd largest and oldest beerfest in the world behind the Munich Oktoberfest, which was an awesome experience.

We visited the Rhine Falls in Switzerland and spent a further 2 days in Switzerland being hosted by another friend before returning to Germany to collect our car and begin our epic “trek” of some 2000 km’s through Germany. From Stuttgart, we headed to the small, beautifully historic, town of Ober Walluf where we were to spend 4 days in the IPA house. The Region is Rhinegau and they are very near to Rudesheim, from where you can catch a Rhine tour boat or visit the Germania Monument on the mountain. It is also home to the famous Drosselgasse – a street which dates back to the 1400′s!!

The IPA house is more than 600 years old and was originally the Rathaus of the town. It was such a wonderful experience and we cannot thank our IPA friends in that Region enough for all their help and for the delightful (and comfortably furnished) accommodation.
