Out of Paradise - Ch. 7 - Arbeit Macht Frei Pt. 2
While admiring the grandeur of Neuschwanstein Castle I meet up with an American GI based in Kaiserslautern off on a bit of Bavarian R&R. He introduces himself as Joe, of all things, GI Joe, and we both have a chuckle. We get to talking then sneak off around the corner of the castle keep to a remote spot for a joint followed by a pint of lager at a nearby bistro. He’s on his way to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a gorgeous alpine resort nestled at the base of the Zugspitze,

Out of Paradise - Ch. 7 - Arbeit Macht Frei Pt. 1
Back to Amsterdam, I bid my two compatriot cohorts adios and start hitching my way south toward the nearest Alp. Not far out of Amsterdam, I get a lift with a middle aged couple on their way home to Scheveningen.

I give her the 50 centimes for the beer with the money I had just exchanged from the currency counter next door, hoist my pack on my back and attempt to locate the next bus into Luxembourg City.
