A large group of us decided to go to Munich for the Karneval
weekend…I know, doesn’t make much sense…but never the less I had a great
time. After a full day of karneval
festivities on Thursday, our group hopped on the night train to Munich. The ride there was horrible. For the
majority of the train ride, the temperature kept fluctuating between the
extremes of hot and cold. Eventually we arrived in Munich super early in the
morning (around 6:30 ish) and got straight into walking around the city. Later that evening, a couple of us went
to the English Gardens were we borrowed some kid’s soccer ball and watched some
river/canal surfing. That night
for dinner, we went to the famous Hofbrauhaus and enjoyed some Bavarian beer.
The second day in the region of Bavaria consisted of a day
trip to the beautiful town of Fussen. There we toured King Ludwig’s castle, ate
some schnitzel, and adventured through the woods around a spectacular lake! The
scenery around King Ludwig’s castle was amazing: beautiful forest, lake, and
mountains.
The third day in Bavaria was spent at the concentration camp
of Dachau. There we received an
audio guide device and toured the camp.
It was pretty mind-blowing to listen to the stories of all the terrible
acts committed by other fellow humans.
After learning about Dachau, we headed back to Munich, walked around the
city, ate some crepes, had a great dinner, and attempted to stay up and watch
the super bowl (we opted for sleep at around halftime).
On Monday we left for Bonn pretty early and I spent the rest
of the day chilling at home with my host family. Overall, it was a fun trip and I had a great time.
