We have been thinking of where to go for weeks, if not months, and it was a really hard decision. Hungary is surrounded by amazing places that all seem to be the same distance away. We researched different places and finally came up with our plan. We would drive through Austria, into Germany, and then to the Berne, Switzerland Temple.
Our plan was to leave on Tuesday, April 30th after work and start driving as the next day was a national holiday that I got off from work as well. We ended up leaving on Wednesday, May 1st and didn't make it all the way to Switzerland, but we had an amazing time and I loved Austria and Southern Germany. We drove over 1,000 miles and I would do it again tomorrow if I had the chance. Here is a outline of our itinerary which we will be posting more in depth in the coming days and weeks. We took A TON of pictures like the one below:
