TraveLog: Germany, Day 6

Hallole!

• After another late night, I dragged myself out of bed at around 7:30. With less than five hours of sleep each of the past two nights, this morning felt like a school day.

• Sofie prepared another yummy breakfast, which included croissants, eggs, and bacon. Yeah, buddy!

• We drove to Ulm to get a glimpse of the world’s tallest church tower. At 161 meters, it was pretty impressive. Bit what really got my attention was the church’s interior. It was a study in Gothic architecture, with its extremely high vaulted ceiling and intricately detailed sculptures and carvings. It served as quite a juxtaposition to the church we visited yesterday. Since I’m on my iPod right now, I can’t upload any pics; I’ll update the entries when we get back to Burladingen.

• We continued east, hitting a bit of traffic outside Munich. While in the city, we stopped by another castle, Schloss Nymphenberg.

• Sofie, Marty, and I were in and out of consciouness while Gerd quietly drove us farther east. He’s awesome!

• We finally reached our destination just outside of Salzburg, a town called Bad Reichsall. It took us a few tries to find a hotel, but we ended up at a nice one, which (importantly) has internet access, thereby allowing me to post this entry in a timely fashion!

• For dinner, we walked to a local beergarden, where we proceeded to stuff our faces with beer, spätzle, and various meats and sauces. Two words: FOOD BABY.

Tomorrow, SALZBURG!!

Tschüssi!
