We got up and had breakfast, the hostel had a sandwich press which added another dimension to the traditional bread and cheese we have been eating. We then went on a great walking tour where we learned all about munich's history and saw all the main sights. While Munich is most known for their beer they also have quite a history surrounding world war 2, as it was the city where the Nazis originated. We watched the glockenspiel, and it was the biggest waste of my ...

After an 8hr train ride to Munich from Switzerland we were pretty tired, especially because there were a lot of drunk and loud people on our early morning train. However after checking into our hostel we didn't want to waste a rain free day, not knowing what tomorrow would bring so we took a bike tour of the city.

After our super long nap last night we were ready to go, until we looked out the window and realized it was going to be rainy an stormy all day.

We did a little bit of shopping picking up Swiss army knives and karlee bought these flowy pants she had been looking for since Spain when we first saw them. We then went back to the co-op, picked up some Swiss chocolate, beer, and some dinner supplies. We t...

None the less we checke...

So if you read yesterdays blog you know that today was Swiss day! We were really excited to celebrate Swiss day at the mountain hostel as we had seen pictures online and it looked like a real good time. We were told that the festivities started around 2 so we decided instead of another big hike (to be honest the 3 of us were a little stiff after yesterday) we would go with the Aussies to the "flower walk" and have a relaxing morning. Thank god the views were ama...
