day 32




day 32

i'm back in schwabisch hall.

uggghhhh.... i have so much stuff to go over. the backpack when its fully loaded reaks havoc on my shoulders it will take atlest 3 days before they feel right again.


ok i spent 59.01 euro papermoney on the trip (my log says i spent more but the money i counted here says otherwise) however i spent 151.77 euro on traintickets and the hostel. totaling 210.78 euro ($284.56) slightly more than expected. but then i did eat at a resurant almost every night. fyi the wiener schnitzel in fussen germany (just north of austrian boarder) is delicious if you have the means to try it i highly recoment it.

i decided to skip the german museum. it was raining and i didn't want to go to the train station let alone a museum that i din't know were it was and was atlest twice as far as the train station. so i went to dachau and saw the memorial they had audio guides so i got one of them. it was informative (not emotional babling) which i liked.

its 9 pm i'm going to bed


ok its tomarrow but i'm gonna write about today (yesterday). i woke up yesterday at 6:45. got dressed and took the sheets off my bad (you have to take the sheets off the bed and put them in the laundry hamper befroe check out) then i got all of my stuff out of my locker annd went down stairs for breakfast. i ate breads and rolls for about an hour then checked stuff onlline (i had extra minutes from the previous day). and then i checked out. i walked outside and it was raining not terably hard but it wasn't a drizzle either. it was then i desided not to go to the museum i didn't want to ride to the trainstation (about 1 km away) let alone the museum were i wasn't sure were it was and it was atlest 3km away. so i rode , walked and hingout under overhangs to the trainstaion. i was soaked by the time i got there. i bought my ticket to schwabisch hall (with a stop over in dachau. i thought i should really buy a ticket for my bike two. so i thought i did. the train to dachoe nobody checked my ticket. so i got off and looked at a map and thought about taking the bus. it wasn't raining at the time but i figured it would be raining latter (the forcast said it would rain harder latter in the day) so i looked for a maschine to buy a ticket for the buss but didn't find one. then the bus left. luckily i had found directions to the camp on line so i walked there about 2 - 3 km it was about the time i got there that my shoulders started to hurt. i was about to stop and take a break when i saw the audio tour check out place. so i got a tour and walked into the camp.

the words on the gate "arbiet macht frie"

after a while i realized i had spent nearly 2 hours there and the train on my schedual left in allittle more than an hour so i returned the audio tour and took a short break then walked back to the train station were i knew there was a mc donalds. when i got there i ordered a doulbe cheese burger and ate it then i went to the platform and waited (ussually when a train comes it has a picture on the side of the train evry care has a no smoking sign and the picture) i was looking for was a bike but i didn't see it so i got on an stood in the area between the cars and waited for about an hour and a half then the ticket guy came and asked for my ticket and the ticket for my bike i gave him my ticket and the ticket for my bike . he looked at the ticket for the bike and said no this is just for munich so he took out his tiny computer / pinter thing and printed off a bike ticket for me and charged me 4.50 euro then i got onto the next train put my bike in the corner and sat down then about 2 minutes letter (before the train left) a family of about 7-10 got on the train all with bikes my bike was buried. so i asked the father when he was getting off he said at ansbach i said gut me to. then right before the train stopped he started asking me questions and i didn't understand him so i just replied ich wiesse night (i don't know) then he started speaking english do you need to transfer trains here? i said yes so he had to orchestrat his family to help me get off first. which realy wasn't nessissary but i was greatfull. then i got on the train to schwabischhall hessental and went there then transfered to another train and went to schwabisch hall then i rode my bike to the grocery store. i was about to lock it up but then i realized i still had un opened pretzels in my bag and if they searched it i could go to jail or somthing so i rode back to the dorm droped off the bag and grabed the other and rode back to the store and bought some rice and tomatoe sauce. then rode back and made rice and tomatoe sauce for dinner. it was not that great. then i figured out the money for my trip and went to bed. apparently i beat the america group back here. iwouldn't be surprised if they were in prison or stranded on the side of the road.

well that all for yesterday now i'm gonna start on todays.
