Bad Wiessee

AM playing in a new tournament for me - the seventh International Seniors' Cup in the spa town of Bad Wiessee on Lake Tegernsee.
I am seeded 44th out of 131 competitors, and got off to an expected start, beating a 1577 in round one and losing to a 2064 in round two.
Bad Wiessee proved easy to get to - plane from Heathrow to Munich, train from the airport to Gmund (Tegernsee) with a single change, and a bus that was waiting when the train pulled in.

The tournament is hosted in the centre of town by the Hotel Gasthof zur Post

With the exception of round one, all games start at 10am. I am not sure how I will take this over the coming days, but it makes an interesting change from the typical early-afternoon starts of north Europe and the late-afternoon/early-evening starts of the Mediterranean.
Certainly, the playing hall is spacious, and the hotel has opened a dedicated bar serving (non-alcoholic) cold and hot drinks.
