    Munich and Lindhau (Germany) Believe the Hype

    Let's Talk About Munich!

    May 14-16 weekend

    Plans
    Alright so long weekend since Monday off so took off for Munich.  With plans for going to Lindhau on the way back.  Munich is in Bavaria but Lindhau is in Baden-Wuttenberg.  Look at those two as provinces if you like.

    The weather was decent and the travel was long but we got there.

    Travel and Arrival
    There was a big soccer match that day and the train was full of fans with tickets.  So plenty of booze on the train and chants here and there.  Also lots of Munich Team gear.  When we got off the train the fans of the opposite team were there.  Pretty crazy since the munich fans seemed to be waiting for them to get off the train ... :) wish i had stayed back to see... but off to the hostel

    Hostel
    Awesome

    City
    Busy, alive and touristy.  Plenty of damn monuments to see so be warned.  U gonna be walking alot.  But they are each worth it though! Transit system is really good for getting around!!
    The people there are less good looking than people in Stuttgart jokes... but i am serious!

    OH the Deutsche Museum is incredible especially their boats exhibition.  They have EVERYTHING there it is crazy!

    Check out a Beer Garten and Englisch Garden and off course DT Munich.  And this insane club place whose name i shall add later.  The night we went we paid 10 Euros for like 30 clubs pretty schweeet.  Make sure to check out the odd clubs like the Russian and American Club lol it is worth it just for the experience.

    Departure and Lindhau
    Left and went to Lindhau which is a small city right around the Boden See (Lake). The day was cloudy but i could tell by the postcards it would be awesome gorgeous there!  Oh the tourist people have a nice pamphlet which u can read to yourself as u walk around.  Going back there again for sure and swimming in that lake yyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeha!

    First Trip: Strasbourg and Basel

    Morning all!!

    Alright I have massive catch up to do in terms of blogs... soo these are gonna be really short!

    First Trip: Strasbourg (France) and Basel (Switzerland)

    We went for the May 7-8 weekend.  Two day trip and two cities spelled pain and it was painful.  I will talk mostly about the city I really like which is Strasbourg.  Strasbourg is a really nice city with this old city feel to it especially in the old part (the most tourist part).  We went around like crazy and saw some nice boat paths, took the boat ride.

    The city is known for being the European Union city with the office located there.  This building is a must see IT IS CRAZY!!! BIG! 

    Food: They are known for Onion Pie and Onion Pizza both i must say are reallllly good and u should not leave without getting some.  It is worth is to go to a nice restaurant and eat some there in the French Atmosphere.

    Best Part: Being in a city where u knew exactly what was going on b/c u finally understand the DAMN LANGUAGE!!! :) wow that felt good!  Also the scenery with the building is very typical old france style kind of like Beauty and the Beast set up.

    Basel (Switzerland)

    This city is ghetto :) ok ok it isn't but it is one of the crappiest u could see in Switzerland lol!  Alright so it is located right at the border of like three countries (France, Switzerland and Germany) kind of cool.  There is a point at which u can walk between all three countries. 

    Well that is as interesting as that city gets.  Anywhoo we rushed back to Stuttgart missed our train in Basel and came home really late.  We missed the local trains in Stuttgart had to grab a cab... man we were tired.

    Aight enough of this one, next trip!

    Oh and at the end of each trip we are to drink on the way home.  So that is me and Jeffers or Yeff (as the Germans call him) drinking champagne on the train ride home!
