Baden Baden

When Geoffrey first described Baden Baden to me, he said it was true hedonism...a land of beautiful food, beautiful wine, beautiful scenery and beautiful naked people...he was right about it all.  It was my pleasure to relax in such a luxurious land for 6 days.




Out to dinner at La Provence

Lovely, lazy, delicious German breakfast at 3pm!

Lest you think it was all lounging about, below are some photos of our hike through the edge of the Black Forest up to the Alte Schloss.  Cora's friends, Rike and Thorsten joined us.   Check out those views!




the arrow is pointing to G&C's house!












Post hike, we meandered down enjoying some child-like play along the way...eventually ending up going via the neue schloss and back into town










In addition to beautiful views, castles, forest, fields, and swings, of course, there was amazing food:  carpaccio, filet mignon, chicken wings,  apple strudel, wiener schnitzel, German meatloaf, flammenkuchen and so much more...












Daily coffee at our favorite outdoor cafe:

No trip to Baden Baden is complete without a trip to the baths.  I've now been to baths in Bulgaria, Budapest, and Baden Baden...unequivocally, BB is the best.  I can't wait to go back...anyone want to join?
