Day 53 Cheese coming out of our Ears....

Saturday 12/05/2018 Karma Bavaria Schliersee Room 210 (10 SZ)

Another day is upon us in the Green zone, peaceful and resting here just as we had planned... Our plan is to had over to Tegernsee to go the Tegernseeland a cheese factory where they make organic cheese...apparently a heap of local dairy farmers combined their product of organic milk into a cheese making business, which form the look of it has gone mad... they take tours through how the cheese is made and have tastings.... and my goodness the amount that went through just while we were there was unreal. We went to book into do it, but told very nicely that they don’t do the tour in English... we are finding it very much that while some people do speak English, many don’t and don’t want to either... TV is a typical example we have only found one station the whole time in Germany that has English and that’s CNN news channel.... American at that! Even movies that in other countries would be in English with the dubbing in their language below, not so in Germany every TV show from OS has voice over in the German Language...

So not being able to do the tour we still went and tried some of the cheeses, even got to see where they make it and where they store it.... so we didn’t miss out and this way it didn’t cost anything either... other than coffee and a small cheese platter we ordered and fortunately the lady serving us could speak English.... after John had tried to translate the German menu with a google translate... the lady bought us over an English one... from that we realise we didn’t quite order what we thought we had... it came out a good size plate loaded with cheeses of different types, no condiments, no biscuit, no bread, just cheese... So we tried to eat just cheese but after a but i found it too rich and it started to make me feel sick... Then the lady offered us a bread and that’s what come 1 piece of Rye Bread, very heavy, not real fresh and nothing other than cheese to eat it with... John ate most of it thank goodness for my poor old tummy this amount of cheeses was just too much... mind you the cheeses were tasty... but it honestly felt a bit like cheese over load, even coming out our ears ha ha....

So having our cheese experience we headed to Lidil for some groceries... then drove around the other side of a Lake Tegernsee, which is a bustling tourist trap.... 100’s flock here especially in summer it takes on a very different feel to what I would say it does in a Winter.... very busy, very tight area, with heaps of traffic and only one way in and out of the area, so gets very congested ....

So back we come had a rest, a jacuzzi, then walked around to the pub out by itself near a field... very nice meal, friendly owner and considering it as so alone from anything packed with people... a good littl find and we could walk to and from it.... our last port of call was to the bar to chat with Abdul the bar tender we are now friendly with.. he is from Tunisia, but has been in Germany for 25 yrs since he was 16... when I asked if he had family ohh yes he said, my mother and my father in Tunisia... I asked him if he was married ohh no he said... We chatted to one of the sales guys but he seems to be their main manager even though younger than some guys... nice bloke another pommie but they all are from either Wales or England and din confuse the 2 or your un trouble a but like Aussies and New Zealanders... or Qlders and NSWers ..... same deal we gather... anyway had a chat got to see that the staff had some guest issues with some very noisy German guests, gather it got a bit tricky for awhile... but not our issue so off to bed....Read more
