Munchen

Why do we change all foreign names to something else? Like Munich is Munchen and Prague is Praha...

Arrived to Germany and got our tickets to Interloken, Switzerland (Tues-Thurs) then from there to the airport in Frankfurt. We leave Friday morning! So weird and so exciting! I miss Molly! A lot of other things too but...lets be honest

Checked into the Holiday Inn :) Outside Munchen but a 20min S-Bahn trip gets you to city center AND is covered by our eurorail. Even better!

Showered and took a few hour nap before starting to see the city...

Saw a church, shocker right? Haha. Then walked through the Residence Museum where the royalty lived back in the day. A lot was destroyed by freakin' Hitler but at least the Nazis preserved many paintings and relics and furniture knowing it'd probably be bombed. Most of Munchen has been reconstructed since then.

Walked through a park which was huge. Randy fell in love...liter STEINS!!! :) There are beer gardens and food in the park so we at dinner there. Both had schnitzel and "country potatoes" which were fried but we were hoping it was something else. Oops!

Finished walking the park and saw the Hofbrauhaus which is supposed to be THE restaurant here and are planning to go once before we leave. Tired, back to the hotel to shower, go to bed to get up early for...Neuschwanstein Castle!!!
