So…Billie called and said; “I’m going to tour the Alps. Wanna come? Well Duh! This is our first Grand Circle Tour starting in Stresa Italy then proceeding to Interlaken Switzerland and Seefeld Austria before ending in Munich. Along the way we’ll visit Zermatt, Lichtenstein, Oberammergau, and (a favorite from trips past) Mittenwald. We’ll check out lakes, islands, and castles. We’ll also leave the tour one day to visit Fraunfeld – Billie’s ancestral home. Should be a great trip!
