Landhaus Anetsberger

June 30 – Day 2

We met up with Hans at the airport as planned and had a drink with him to start off our trip. He brought us the car seat for Isabel to use. We made our way to the Budget Rental and when the young lady waiting on us saw our luggage, she said, “I’ll give you an upgrade”….. so we are driving all over Germany in this minivan like vehicle made by VW called the Caddy…. No pictures to post, but you can google it, I am sure….

We drove 2 hours or so to a tiny village called Ranzing, where we were to spend our first few days. As we left the autobahn and began driving on the back country roads, there was a moment of panic (once again) that we weren’t quite sure what we were getting into. Once we arrived in Ranzing, however, all of our panic was gone…… The Landhaus Anetsberger was absolutely perfect (and highly recommended).

We stayed in one of the back suites with a small kitchen, living area, bedroom and bath. We also had a small private deck. Out the front door, you saw the neighbor’s horses and chickens (which Isabel grew to love). When I say village, you have to understand that there might have been 15 homes in this tiny village – and most of the people were probably related. We found our friend, Holly, waiting for us and she introduced us to Anita and Sepp and their children (Anita and Sepp own the Landhaus). After we became acquainted with our surroundings, we took a short drive to Passau – a beautiful city of 3 rivers (very much like Pittsburgh). We plan to go back to Passau tomorrow for more sightseeing and shopping.
