Adventure in the Great Wide Somewhere

We decided pretty early on that we wanted to honeymoon in Europe.  Sr Groom has never been to Europe before.  I've made it over there a couple of times, but just to Italy and France.  I wanted to go to Germany.  But Miss Gringa!  That's not romantic!  Shouldn't you honeymoon on a beach or something?!  Hush, naysayers.  Take a gander:


I love the beach, but we grew up with it.  You know what we didn't grow up with?  Mountains.  Seriously, how BEAUTIFUL are the Alps?  I also like how the towns look like something out of a storybook:

We wanted our honeymoon to consist of good beer, good chocolate, good pastries, and beautiful scenery.  We looked at a map (how sad is that?!), and decided that the best way to tackle West Central Europe was to limit ourselves to just Munich.  We were interested in Berlin and Cologne, but we were more interested in Austria and Switzerland.  If we stayed in southern Germany, it would make sense to hit up Vienna, Munich, and Zurich.  This would also allow for plenty of time out in the countryside...the Black Forest, Neuschwanstein, etc.  It might end up more touristy than relaxing, but we're psyched nonetheless!

Are you planning a more adventurous honeymoon or a more relaxing one?
