Today was the best morning we got to wake up a lot later than normal and had to meet around 9:40 which allowed for some much needed rest. To get to Munich we took the train which was a really cool experience. Most of the group was spread out as the train was very busy that morning so there weren’t many places to sit. The train station itself was almost like a mall as there were various restaurants and shops in the station which is different from back at home.
After walking around the city for a little, we met up with our tour guide at the Rathaus-Glockenspiel which was insanely beautiful. We then went on a long tour around the city seeing all of the different sights which was really cool. Then at 12 we went back to our original meeting location to see the figures dance on top of the building. There had to be hundreds of people in front of the Glockenspiel when this occurred. Another interesting “sight” we got to see were surfers. There were various people trying to surf the waves in the river which was definitely a sight to see. I really enjoyed seeing the different architecture present in just one city. There was both new and old styles of buildings which made the sights more interesting.
Once the tour was over we had free time. My friends and I went for food at a local thai restaurant where I had the best pad thai and probably the least expensive pad thai I’ve had. Once we finished eating we walked around the city for a little more time till we went to the mall for a pit stop. It still amazes me that you have to pay to use a public restroom. Later we walked to the bell tower and climbed to the top which was just amazing. You were able to see everything from there. The only downside was that it was insanely crowded which made it a little bit more difficult. After that we went to a local restaurant to sit and talk until we had to meet up to go to dinner with everyone. I really enjoyed having the time to just sit and catch up with everyone.
For dinner we went to a hamburger restaurant which was really good. I was still filled from my pad thai early so I ended up just getting salad but it was so good I never had something like that before. Once dinner was over we made the quick trip back to the train station to catch a ride back to the hotel before crashing for the night after a long and amazing day.
