Venice was absolutely GORGEOUS!! The day started out a little rocky (AKA we got caught in a monsoon and I was convinced the city was just going to sink right there), but surprisingly enough the rain went away and turned into one of the most gorgeous days I've ever experienced. We walked through the streets, over the bridges of the canals, rode in a gondola through the city, and left no stones unturned. I only wish we had had more time there, and that the pictures could do justice to just how amazing it was.
We left Venice and after a 7 hour bus ride and getting to see a little bit of Austria during lunch and from the bus, we have arrived in Germany. Everyone, including myself, absolutely loves it here. The food is amazing and the beer is cheaper than water (not cheap, just cheaper lol). Last night we got here and went straight to the world famous Hofbrauhaus here in Munich! The atmosphere in that place is amazing! If I lived here I'd be there all the time. The place is huge and seats like 4,500 people throughout the many floors, and it's basically a giant party and people are dressed up in traditional German clothes all over the place. Definitely a must see for anyone who is ever in Munich, even if you don't drink beer!
Today we woke up and went to the Neuschwanstein Castle about an hour and a half away in Bavaria. After th drive and a refreshing 45 minute hike up the mountain we finally got there. It's the castle that Sleeping Beauty's castle was modeled after and it was gorgeous, despite the really awkward and creepy tour guide. He was a tiny little British man and I had trouble deciding whether he'd be better suited for a Monty Python film or a slasher movie. Each time we entered a new room of the castle he slowly and eerily closed the doors behind us and each time I thought to myself "Yup, this must be when he pulls out his gun and shoots us all while laughing hysterically." I only wish I had a video, but if you ask later I'll do my best to impersonate it for you. Pictures weren't allowed inside of the building, but I have some great exterior ones I'll post soon.
Now we're napping, showering, and contemplating tonight's plans before heading to Prague tomorrow!
Love and miss you all!
XOXO,
