Well...to catch up on teh last post...all my photos where recovered! Fucking miracle! And we did get up before nine to go to Neuschwanstein, Such an amazing castle.
However, as I am a bit more of a cultural tourist and the significance of structures never really rubs off on me...I will tell you about the night out we had after.
We essentially arrived back from a long day at Neuschwanstein and went stright to meet Sophie, who was catching up with friends that she ahd met on German exchange in Australia. She met us at a station in Municha nd we went walking through some forrest that was pitch black to a river. Kent and I on teh walk did our best Blair witch Project impersonations. We got there and other than a car bridge approximately 400 metres away and a facotry you could see above teh tress, we could have been in teh middle of nowhere. There were heaps of other groups set up along the rive with fires, food and general merriment. Kent, Laurent and I also endulged in another German tradition....we drank on püublic transport to get to eht field and no one cared because everyone else does it.
After catching up with all these exchange students, one of which had actually been to Stawell!, we went to a Cuban bar and did a bit of awesiome dancing. I will say awesome becaus I was a bit drunk and I fancy myself as a talent when it suits.
The next day we were feeling very tired and we also all went our separate ways. Sophie and Laurent to the airport and Kent and I to the train station. After a 6 hour train ride, which I occupied by shaving and readin american newspapers we arrived in Berlin.
We are staying in the same hostel as our good friends Felix and alix, whom we havenät seen for about a year. So teh first night was spent in the hostles bar (whcih evidently is on teh seventh floor). Did I also mention that the hostel is called Wombat...so full of Contiki tours and other random Australians.
We spent today on a free walkign tour of the city. Essentially there is a company called something like New Europe...they give free walking tours in a bunch of countries and wou just tip the guide at the end. It was excellent and they took us all over teh city and gave us a very comprehensive history. following that we went a museum which currently contains many remnants of Babylon.
Tomorrow Felix and I are going to a concentration camp...so a lot to take in.
