Munich I - Munich and Castles in Fussen!

Thursday, September 18, 2014

Train to Munich! We walked out of the main train station and these were the first English words I saw!!!

Yes, yes I do.

Dinner at a restaurant recommended by our AIRBNB host and then we checked into our AIRBNB. Not our favorite. There were lots of things that bothered me so I had to write them down!

There was a smokey smell

The kitchen did not look like the pictures.

There was clutter EVERYWHERE.

The bathroom was not very clean.

The washer/dryer was in a separate building and cost money (super lame) - this was not mentioned when we booked the place.

Our host messaged us a day or so before to tell us our check in time would be delayed because she had to work late. So, we were in Munich for a few hours with our bags. When we checked in, there were 2 people who lived there and it appeared they had been there for a while (one of them was working on lesson plans) so we're not sure why there was any reason we couldn't have checked in earlier. Also, we never met our host.

The drawers were all full in the bedroom so all our stuff went on the floor (the description of the place talked about how we had drawer space)

ICK. I had fun in Munich but I was not sad to leave our AIRBNB!

Day trip to Fusssen to see the castles in Bavaria. Breakfast on the train!

On the train to Fussen, we saw a camel in a person's backyard. Totally normal.

Neuschwanstein Castle

Hohenschwangau Castle

Mary's Bridge! We left our lovers lock and threw away the key!

Alpee Lake! So beautiful! It is in the middle of the two castles. We went on a paddle boat ride. It reminded me of Fircreek :)

I'm pretty sure this is good advice...

Currywurst and pommes for lunch!

Hofbrauhaus Beer Hall!

Ox meat!

We made some new friends! Steve and Michelle from North Carolina. Dan, Sam, and Michael from Chicago. Michael's brother is a bartender in KC so we're going to visit him!
