After we checked in we decided to wait and see the castles in the morning so we just spent the afternoon walking around the city. It was beautiful. The city is nestled in the foot of mountains with a white river running though the center.
Not a bad place to spend the day the strolling around. That night we sat at a Greek restaurant and watched Germany play again. They won! It was super exciting. The only problem was that for about 2-3 hours after the game, every car that was in the town drove around laying on their horn!
The next morning we woke up early and caught the bus up the mountain to see the Castle Neuschwanstein. It is the castle that sleeping beauty based its castle on. Is was huge and nestled in the side of a mountain.
Wonderful morning! After the castle, we hoped on a train to head to Munich. It took us until about 3 together to Munch. When we arrived we headed to our hotel. It is a nice hotel but its location is um...... Not the best. There are some interesting "businesses" of entertainment located along our street. It makes for a very entertaining walk home!
The first day in Munich we walked around old town and sat and did a lot off people watching. We also visited the Olympic village from 1972. Where we took an elevator to the top of a 300 meter tower.
That night we found a restaurant to watch Spain and France play. We ended up siting next to three women from Austria. We all had a really good conversation about the similarities and differences of our cultures. It was a really great conversation.
This morning we slept In a bit And then visited a few places in old town, including the hofbrauhous! It is the famous beer garden here!
Mmmmmmmm that was some good beer! After that we headed to a giant park see some playgrounds and some other sights. We got to see surfers surfing an endless wave In the river.
Then we headed to the Chinese tower (another beer garden). Huge pretzels, huge beer mugs and German music.....life is good!
After all the beer I needed a nap so we headed back tothe hotel for a catnap then we headed back out to a restaurant for dinner and to watch England play Italy. I have to say, I have really grown to like football aka soccer! I will have to watch the finals when I get home.
Well I am in bed finishing my last blog from Germany. I am torn between wanting to go home for some much need rest and not wanting this adventure to be over! It has been a great trip and I feel so lessee to have had the opportunity to be here. Celeste has been a great travel buddy and we have become good friends through our travels.
