Day 7: Saturday 5/14/2016
Munich was where we spent our time today. We arrived in
Munich around 11 after catching the train from Augsburg. I had never been on a
passenger train like that so that was a cool experience although it was not
nearly as exciting as I thought it’d be. After arriving in Munich we took a
city tour where we walked through all of the old town of Munich. Once again,
the architecture of this city was amazing and simply blew away the architecture
in America. All of the shops and little stands selling food and other
merchandise made it seem modern, but there was also the feel of older times. Following
the tour, we were given a few hours of free time to do whatever we wanted in
the city. I and a few others were starving so we found a traditional Bavarian
restaurant and got schnitzel. It was so good I wanted to order more, but unfortunately
didn’t want to spend the money. Then we climbed the 400 steps in the church
tower to see some amazing views. On one side I got to see a great view of the
town hall and on the other side I could see the Alps in the distance. After
buying some souvenirs, Jan really wanted to show us where people surf in the
river so a few of us made the hike to the park. The 20 minute walk was
definitely worth it, the surfing was so cool and unique (when will I get to see
surfing in a river again?). Finally, after eating at a really good burger place
for dinner (it was nice having some more “normal” food) it was time to head
back to Augsburg to wrap up a long day.
