Bavaria
Last Updated: Dec. 17, 2007
Bavaria (German: Bayern) is the largest and southern-most administrative region of Germany famous for its beautiful countryside, mountains, alps, laid-back lederhosen wearing residents and, maybe most of all its beer. Munich, the capital of Bavaria and Germany’s third largest city is home to the yearly Oktoberfest (aka Beerfest).
The Bavarians are reasonably culturally independent of their fellow countrymen and women speaking an unusual dialect of German and noticeable differences in their lifestyle and attitudes. Generally, the Bavarians have more in common with the people of the Tyrol in Austria though neither will admit it as they are both fiercely independent.

Bavaria is my favourite part of Germany. The Bavarians see themselves as independent from the rest of Germany. Their blue and white state flag also forms part of the logo of BMW!

A hike to the top of Yosemite Falls is among the best the park has to offer.
Always sign up for the group photo's while on ANY of the tours Contiki offers. When you get home you'll be glad that you did - it will be nice to have a professional photo of your whole group that you can hang up on the wall or put in a photo album.
Do not travel with ONLY a credit card and/or debit card. Why? Cards can become demagnetized or lost….you should have some cash or traveler's checks to fall back on in case of an unfortunate inconvenience involving your plastic.
