Bregenz 2015 - Part 1

Driving To Bregenz

Saturday - March 7th 2014

Last year Claudia wrote a book about vegan baking and recently she got an invitation to a vegan exhibition in Bregenz. There she talked about the efforts of writing that book. Since Bregenz is a couple of hours away from Salzburg, we decided to spend the weekend there. We booked a nice hotel and Saturday after breakfast we were on our way to the capital of Vorarlberg, Austria's westernmost federal state. Unfortunately we got stuck in a traffic jam near Munich and so we arrived an hour later at our hotel. We stayed at Hotel Germania near the city center. The hotel was very nice and so was our room, which included a big bathroom and a huge TV.

After we unpacked our stuff, we walked to the exhibition, which was held at the Festival House, famous for its Seefestspiele and the shooting of the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace. There we got something to eat for a very late lunch. Since there was still a lot of time left until Claudia's presentation, we left the exhibition and enjoyed some drinks in the warm sun at the Lake Promenade of Lake Constance.

Before Claudia gave her presentation, we had a veggie burger for dinner and after her talk about the book, we went to the Gösserbräu for a beer. Back at the hotel we spent some time at the hotel bar and then we went to bed.

Bregenz 2015 - Part 2

Bregenz And Munich

Sunday - March 8th 2015

Our hotel package included a wonderful beakfast buffet and after coffee and some rolls, we walked around the inner city. Bregenz isn't big, but it is a nice little town. First we went to the Upper Town, the oldest part of the city, and then back to the Lake Promenade. There we visited the Floating Stage and then we headed back to the exhibition.

Around noon, after we spent some time at the exhibition, we headed back to our hotel, checked out and hit the road. On our way back home we stopped in Munich and had lunch at the Hans Im Glück Burger Restaurant. Claudia and I both ordered the vegan burger with fries and the burgers were as delicious as always. Afterwards we got a coffee at Starbucks and drove home.
