I just returned from Munich, which was a blast!! I feel like I did so much within 3 days. Well first we left and the bus ride took 11 hours!! Didn't get to Munich till 1:30. That was horrible. But the next day we all woke up bright and early to visit Dachau Concentration Camp. It was very eerie... You walk through the same gates that the prisoners came through. The fence that surrounded the camp was frightening, I only could imagine how many people may have died in the area I was standing. I walked through the barracks where they slept and then off to what is called "Barrack X" where I walked through the crematory room, onto the gas room, and also the waiting room where it was there turn next to "take a shower". I think that was the hardest part of the tour to see where so many people have died. It was a great experience though although it sounds daunting. But... we returned to the city central and that is when I got my first bratwurst.. DELICIOUS.
The next day we went on a bike tour of Munich. I loved it I saw so much of Munich that way and riding the bike was just relaxing. We did go through the English Gardens where we warned that there is a part of the park that we will pass where people are nude. By far that was just really weird/awkward to pass people who were naked. Other than that the tour was beautiful, Munich is beautiful.
Sunday was our day to return to Florence, but first we stopped off at the Neuschwanstein Castle. Disney based their castle off of this one. We had a guided tour through it and it was crazy. There were only 16 rooms actually finished and the whole 3rd floor not even done. The King who lived there was only there for 170 days!! And right after the king died it turned into a museum....
Overall the trip was awesome!! I had a lot of fun... lots of sausage! But an experience that i could never forget. If you have the chance go to Munich!!
