Carolyn is a weinerschnitzel!!
First off, its been weird getting used to keyboards in every country. The symbols are always in different places, and in Germany, the Z and Y keys are switched. Makes typing much much slower.
Anyways, were just about to go off and spend our last day in Munich before catching our first overnight train to Prague late tonight. Luckily our hostel is leting us keep our big bags in storage so that we dont have to pay for lockers at the train station. Im kind of excited about the sleeper train, but I dont actually anticipate that I will sleep very well. But its a new adventure!!
The last couple of days have been awesome. The running joke is that every city we visit becomes our new favourite and place we want to move to. On our first day in Munich, we hooked up with a free bike tour of the city. It was a group of about 20 of us, run by a hilarious 35ish year old guy origianlly from Maine, and with a super cute Brit as his side-kick. It lasted about 3 hours, including an hour long stop for lunch in one of the biggest beer gardens in the city. We met some great people on the tour, and ended up spending the night with a few of them (possibly having a little too much wine/beer), and connecting with two others yesterday for a day trip to Fussen. (We learned that groups of 5 get discounts on the train fares so it worked out great)
Fussen is home to Castle Neuschwanstein (butchered the spelling of that one), which all of you would surely recognize to see as it inspired all the Disneyland castles, and was used as Hogwarts in some scenes of Harry Potter. It was a cloudless day so the outside and view of the Alps and cute town of Fussen was the best part. We missed a train so spent an extra couple hours in Fussen which was great because it was prettz much the cutest town youve ever seen, and it was great to walk through and explore.
Today our plan is to visit the Deutche museum (one of the worlds biggest apparently) and maybe head to Dachau (the first Nazi concentration camp) if we have time.
More from Prague!!

In other news, go 1 litre beers!
