Texas Hill Country Roadtrip

Texas Hill Country Roadtrip | My new trip on Roadtrippers.com!



This was our route for our road trip through the Hill Country. It was beautiful and especially during Spring all the flowers are starting to blossom all over the area.  
For the first time ever I properly used the Lonely Planet guide for Texas (this one, the new one just came out this January)- we even used all their restaurant recommendations, which is something I never do. I always want to find my own places and don't rely on the 'hype' of the travel guides. Anyway, it was just easy to figure out dinner plans and it worked out really nicely- all the restaurants were pretty good and met our expectations.
My favorite little towns were Boerne and Gruene.
I don't have pictures of it because we bought a little waterproof throw away camera and I haven't developed them yet , but we went river rafting/tubing on the Guadelupe River in Gruene/New Braunfels and it was a.m.a.z.i.n.g.
It was super hot, a little bit windy and the river was beautiful. We rented equipment from Rockin R and it was just the perfect day for it. We took beers and snacks, tanned, watched those ugly turtles on the river, got stuck on rocks and swam. It was like a dream, let me tell ya.

It was a perfect weekend getaway and I'm still dreaming about it.

road trip #2 Fredericksburg

On Friday we drove in to Fredericksburg, checked in to our not spectacular Motel 6 and had dinner at

Buffalo Nickel Bar & Grill (105 S Llano St, Fredericksburg, TX 78624). It was so so good, because almost all of their food is homegrown and homemade, they grow their own herbs and their raspberry margaritas are to die for. 

So we rolled out the door and tried to dance a little bit in the dance hall in Luckenbach, but sadly they were already closing. Really really cute though, absolutely worth a visit.

 

On Saturday we had breakfast at a very cute cafe called Mahaley's Cafe, nommy cinnamon rolls! Wish I could eat one now. We wandered through the shops, bought cute postcards and other souvenirs and then left for Bandera.
So more in the next post!
