day 26

day 26

the american group is going to amsterdam on friday morning so i will have the kitchen and bathrooms to myself for the weekend

i plan to leave for munich on monday morning at 8:00 and arrive at 11:30 i have to check in to the hostel between then and 3:00 it looks like it shouldn't be to hard to find. i plan to explore the marion platz (town center) and the englisch garten for the rest of the day.

the next day i will wake up early and ride my bike to neuschwanstien and Hohenschwangau and spend the day in there. then i will ride back to the hostel and maybe ride around the city (it i have time)

the next day i will go to the german museum and walk through that. then i will ride my bike to dachoe concentration camp and tour that for a while then ride back to munich (or the nearest train station) and come back to schwabisch hall.

it turns out thtta the media center will be open normal hours from now to next friday so i should be able to post stuff. and during the munich trip i will get atleast 10 minutes of internet free and if the price is right i might get more. or i might find an unsecured network. either way i should remain connected.

since i will have access to a kitchen at the hostel i am bringing spagehitti with me so i cook up some of that. i wil also bring rice cakes, generic waffels (sealed should last forever) pretzels (they are dirt cheap here, actually dirt is pretty expensive here i guess thay are as expensive as dirt in america (not good dirt)) and maybe some fresh rolls for the first day or two.

since some information is hard to get online i'm just gonna play it by ear when i get there and make adjustments as nessissary.

the facilities team is being slow in getting back to me on my questions which means thay are reluctant to help me get a job in their field likly because they feel i should do somthing more with my degree. or they know that i can't get a job there and are putting off telling me.

while i am away mustafa will still have acces to my room and since i don't know him i naturally don't trust him so i think i'm gonna put most of my belongings back in the suit case and put it under my bed or in the closet to help remove temptation.

total the munich trip should be just under 200 euro.

over the week end i would like to get a map of the surounding area and ride to all the small town around schwabisch hall.

in one month i will be going to vienna the program wants to fly me there but i have a bike and my luggage is heavier than the flight will allow so i'm likly going to take the train. i'm not sure about the cost but it will likly b cheaper than getting the bike on the plane and paying for the extra weight. i'll have to talk to ruth to see if i can get a refund or not and i'll have to find out how much a train to vienna would cost.

today i have to
withdraw money from my checking acount.
research stuff
how to get to the hostel from the train station
how to ride to neuschwanstien
how to ride to neuschwanstien and hohengau
how to get to the german museum
