Day 2 - Säcking, Germany

Today wasn’t filled with big adventures, but it was rich in the kind of moments that make a trip truly memorable.

My brother and his wife joined us for a leisurely lunch at my sister’s condo. We settled into the shaded patio and let the afternoon drift by in deep conversation, savoring cool drinks while hearing the occasional sound of garden birds — simple, perfect family time.

As evening approached, we strolled to a restaurant in the charming old town. Dinner was classic German Wiener Schnitzel with fries and a cold Weissbier, enjoyed outdoors as the buzz of the annual Bridge Festival filled the cobblestone streets.

The old town was alive with festive energy, and the sound of music in the near distance was in the air. We navigated through the crowds, and the ladies had to make a mandatory stop at the town’s famous ice cream shop. 🍦

Later, we joined the large audience at the central plaza in front of the cathedral, where a rock band was playing. Kids danced, ladies swayed, and the whole scene resembled summertime joy.

We capped off the night back home on the patio, talking and sipping until almost midnight. No significant sights, no long drives — just a day full of warm family time, reconnecting with the past years, and silently wishing we could do this more often.Læs mere
