This episode brings Jill’s Germany story full circle. After beginning the trip in Garmisch-Partenkirchen - the place that inspired the very first episode of True Travel Talk - the family splits off in different directions, with Jill’s travel team heading toward one of Germany’s most storybook regions: the Black Forest.

Along the way, they stop in Ulm, revisit favorite sights like the Ulm Münster and Rathaus, and settle into the beautiful 5’s Black Forest Resort Dollenberg for mountain views, peaceful walks, half-board dining, cuckoo clocks, and a very special 11th birthday celebration for her son Graeme.
