First Night in Munich and Day One in Bavaria

We now know what Germany is all about. The scenery has changed very much since we left the more industrious western side of German, and have headed into Bavarian Germany. If you didn’t know already; Munich has a LOT to offer. Most of the group enjoyed getting out into the city to see it for ourselves. Just walking into the restaurants you can see how much different things are in southeast Germany. The majority of us enjoyed the local cuisine as we ordered the Bavarian feast which included things such as roast duck, fried pig’s knuckle, pork roast, dumplings, and beer gravy. We finished off the evening by taking a walk down by the most impressive building we have seen thus far: the Glockenspeil.

It is now Wednesday. We split up into smaller groups this morning and headed out on our chosen adventures. The majority took a train down near the Austrian border to see the AMAZING castles tucked nicely into the Bavarian Alps. Just remember: Pictures DO NOT do them justice.

  1. Have you tried dumplings and roast ducks? They are the famous and traditional Beijing dieshes. And also bird's nest soup? Its a delicacy in China.

    Enjoy your days~~~
