Black Forest Tour

First thing of course is the free breakfast – nothing special here. My disappointment with the Hotel Colmar came when I went to check out. My Rick Steves book said I get 10% discount with the book and cash. But when I went to the front desk he said I had to tell them that when I made the reservation in order to get the discount!!! We made sure he knew we wouldn’t be back.
When I calmed down a little we found the car and 11 euros later were allowed out of the parking lot and did the hour drive to Triberg. Here mom had a ball at the House of a Thousand Clocks picking out souvenirs. The street and surrounding area was beautiful with all the snow on the trees.

We had lunch at a cute pizzeria that was down in a basement and very cozy. They also filled the requirement for the piece of Black Forest cake. I must say it was better than the cake we had on our last visit.
Triberg is about 2.5 hours from home but the drive thru the black forest was very Christmassy with all the snow on the trees and houses.
