Day 22- The Castle and more Munich

So today we went to the castle about 2 hours south from Munich. The castle was so amazing. This castle is what Cinderellas' castle is based off of. When we got to the castle we parked all the way at the bottom of the hill and were not told that it was a thirty minute climb to the top of the mountain. Also right when we got there it began to pour down rain. It was like trying to climb up a slip and slide. So ashley, jenny and I began to climb up the mountain but Ashley was wearing flip flops so it was quite difficult for her go up because she was always slipping and falling out of her shoes. During a walk up the mountain we were lucky to find a nice hotel/restaurant too. Ashley got a potato soup and i got the brat with fries. After lunch we continued our journey up the mountain to meet up with the group for the walking tour of the castle. The view from some of the rooms were amazing. My favorite room was the King;s bedroom because the view from his window was wild. After the tour we went to this famous bridge were you can take amazing pictures. I was able to take some really cool on my phone and ashley got some good ones on the big camera. After pictures we decided to head back to the bus but take the bike trail instead. It ended up working out in our favor because the scenery was so pretty. There was even a waterfall running through the water of the path and hopped on the bus. We got back to the hotel and ashleys german friend Stephi's bf goes to university in Munich and was able to meet up with us and show us around. We met him at the city center by the giant cuckoo clock and began our journey. Our first stop was a very famous market in Munich were many events of Oktoberfest are held. We decided to sit down and enjoy and beer while we got to know each other. We saw his university and it was very different but I liked it. One cool place he showed us was the English Gardens because it was a giant open park with a river/stream running through it and at the top there is like a dip in the water making a constant wave. When we got there there was like 10 surfers taking turns and hitting the waves. I was able to take a pretty awesome video but then Stephi's bf went back to his dorm to study and Ashley and I went to another famous bar/house for dinner. We watched the game and have amazing apple strudel but we were so tired from all the walking that we just went back to the hotel and went straight to bed because we had a long trip to Prague the next day.
