day 31






today i woke up at 6:45 got dressed grabed the stuff i needed and got out of the room. then i had breakfast which was al you could eat. but, i think i was more like all you could stand to eat. the orange juice was fresh squeezed which tastes weird it has an extra zing to it. and the only edible thing there was rolls (mostly stail) and bread and various jams and honey. then i rode to the train station bought a ticket and went to fussen on the way the ticketer checked my ticket and yelled at me for not haveing a ticket for my bike. i didn't know i needed one. when i got there i rode around the city got lost so i went back to the trainstation and asked the info guy which way the castles were he said that way and always straight. pointing away from the trainstattion i thanked him and road aboit 5 km to the castles i found the ticket office the line for neuschwanstien was long the line started outside the building and did two rooms like at disney world. but it wasn't effective because the walls were glass. the hohenschwangau castle line was directly to the same place but there was literally nobody there so i decided it was worth it to go with the shorter line. i arrived in at the ticket office at 11:40 and got to the castle at about 11:50 the tour started at 1:15 so i had a hour to wait. if i had gone with the neuschwwanstien castle the line would have taken a hour (atleast) then the walk up to the castle probably 20-30 minutes (big hills long distance) and the wait for my tour group to start would have been twice as long so i would still be there a week from now if i had gone with neuschwanstien.

the castle itself was not a castle it was a mansion which is still privatly owned by the royal family. it was basically turned into a mueseum. lots of gold and silver relics and other shiney things.

i'll post more on that latter

then i road back to the train station locked up my bike and walked into town and found a nice resturant i walked in sat down the waitress walked up and said was morchest du i said eine spisekarte bitte and she came back with an englisch menu and talked to me in english the rest of the time i was there. i had weiner schnitzel and frenchfries it was delicious.

then i went back to the trainstation bought a ticket at the mashine then walked inside and asked the info guy for a bike ticket it cost 4.50 euro then i waited for the train got on and this ticket guy didn't seems to care at all if i had the bike ticket or not. i've never had a problem before so i assume i don't need one and if they ask i'll start babbling in english at them..

when i got to munich i locked up my bike and walked around the trainstation looking for food i found a place that sold pretzels and sprite so i bought a pretzel and a sprite i wasn't to hungry i had lunner already (lunner = late lunch/early dinner) this was either a snack or second dinner. then i rode back to the hostel talked to mom and dad and now i'm in the room typing this now i'm gonna plan for tomarrow.
