PAGE 9 CIMARRON TRAIL MEMBER ARTICLE By T im & Per r i B l ake So far everything had been easy. But this step proved to be a little more difficult. We did a lot of internet searching but finally found a 911 through AVIS. If you go to AVIS.COM (the U.S. website) and search for a Porsche in Munich you will not find one. If you go to the German AVIS website you will not find a Porsche there either. But for some odd reason if you go to the United Kingdom’s AVIS website you can secure a Porsche (for pickup in Munich) via their website. THE JOURNEY We landed in Munich, hopped over to the AVIS counter, grabbed our 2018 black Porsche 991.2 convertible and headed to our Munich hotel to check in. Since we stayed in the old part of Munich, everything we wanted to see was well within walking distance (Hofbrauhaus, the market, Glockenspiel). The next day we took the autobahn to Salzburg, stopping to see Herrenchiemsee along the way. We knocked out a few hours of shopping in Salzburg and then we headed south into the Bavarian countryside where we spent the night in Berchtesgaden just near the tourist stop of Hitler’s Eagles Nest perched high on a mountain. This hotel was the nicest of the bunch and that night, as fate would have it, the hotel just happened to be hosting one of those Porsche driving adventures that we modeled our trip after. When we checked out the next morning, we were greeted with seven 2018 Boxster GTSs all lined up waiting for that day’s driving tour. It seemed like every color of the rainbow was represented by those cars. We talked to the group’s leader and got some tips on local roads to drive before leaving the area.
