My birthday trip started in a small car in Germany pointed in a southbound direction. Our first stop was the City of Wiesbaden, Germany. In 1989 I was in the U. S. Air Force and stationed in south-central England at RAF Fairford AFB. That base was closing and in 1990 I got orders to go to Lindsey Air Station in Germany. I got out of the Air Force when RAF Fairford closed and never made it to Germany. Lindsey Air Station is now closed but it was located in Wiesbaden. We drove through the city to look around at the place where I might have lived had circumstances been different. With that being said though, I might not be here, in Switzerland, right now, with Nika had I gone to Germany in 1990.
The rest of the day was spent driving to Switzerland. We drove about 530 kilometers in total and landed in a gorgeous place with what is said to be the cleanest air on earth. Our view from our hotel room at Hotel Oberland is really great! We can see numerous waterfalls from the rocks in the nearby mountains and we have a spectacular view of the Alps.
