The Alps now loomed larger as the road narrowed. The deep green fields were studded with incredible concentrations of bright yellow dandelions. After passing through a few towns, we arrived at Bernbeuren. It was a bit hard to find, not being on some of my maps. The town had some tourist industry but did not seem oriented to tourism. It was essentially a Bavarian farm town that had some hotels and guesthouses mainly due to its proximity to the Alps. I knew that the information bureau closed at noon, so I brought my list of available hotels and rooms from the town's web page and translated into English. We could not find our first choice of hotels (the address was actually in a neighboring town) so we picked a guesthouse that seemed acceptable and that would not be too hard to find.
