Going back to normal
11 years ago
General
OK So after too many adventures- I'm finally going to be able to get back into the normal swing of things.
My family was wanting to explore every. single. day. so I never really got a break. By the end of the night- I was exhausted and wanted to sleep forever.
But they are heading back home meaning I will have my normal time to myself finally and will finally be able to get art done!!
-SO MY ADVENTURES-
Started their trip out by heading to Austria by train. It was a 3+ hour train ride to Salzburg but it wasnt too bad. We got into Salzburg around 4pm and took a taxi to where we were staying. We stayed at the Von Trapp home, which if anyone has seen the Sound of Music or learned about the Von Trapp family- yeah thats where they used to live before escaping Germany to Italy then over to the US.
We went into the city square because there was a festival going on to honor one of the saints. It was like.. saint protector or something. IDK I cant really remember but it was interesting. Like a big street fair.
Anyways- next day. Basically one of my stepmom's favorite movie was sound of music. Since it started out in Salzburg they have little sound of music tours which talk about the movie, filming of it, and the true story of the Von Trapps- as well as some history of Austria and such. Was pretty fun. That evening we hopped on a train and went back home to Germany.
Next day we explored the base a bit and the area here.
Friday we went up to Munich for OKTOBERFEST. Gosh that was an experience. Beer, good food, plenty of interesting games and stalls, and plenty of drunks. My dad made it a game to take pictures of the drunks that were passed out on a hill usually next to their own vomit. So we hung out there for most the day then decided to try and get out of Munich before more people started getting off work and going. So we left Munich and headed South towards Garmich/Garmisch?
We stopped about 15km before there though in a small ass town. I dont even know what its name was though. It was small but cute. We pulled into town and parked to ask if the hotel had any room. Then suddenly they were parading cows down the main street. Lots of cows. LOL it was hilarious. I took a video of it and I might try to upload it somewhere XD
But we had dinner at this small hotel and stayed the night. Next day we went an hour to the west to Neuschwanstein Castle. We signed up for a tour later that day then explored the town around it. Took a horse carriage up after a while and did our tour which was pretty interesting. I love old history stuff and the castle was stunning.
Sunday we went to a town nearby before going to Nuremburg to explore a bit also. They were having an "old town" festival to sort of celebrate the culture of Nuremburg so it was fun.
Then yesterday we sort of hung out with each other at home and got them ready to leave today!
SO its been busy busy busy!
I left most the photo taking up to my dad but I did take a few pictures!
