It was an early morning to catch our flight from Paris to Munich. We are starting to get comfortable with the underground / metro / subway. The wording differs based on where you are.
On arrival in Munich, you could feel the difference in culture. Everything was orderly, very clean, and structured. This feels more like our style instead of France. The wheelchair service was impeccable here; we were greeted right at the plane and two young ladies took us all the way to the rental car desk.
At the desk we were upgraded for free to a diesel minivan with nav system. The upgrade included an automatic transmission so Don got a bit of a driving break.
The weather is grey and rainy and it looks like it is here for awhile. We checked into our room after doing a bit of grocery shopping for snacks, lunch stuff, and beer. The gasthaus we are staying in is older than the castle we are exploring. It was used for the workers that built the castle. It was great because we were right below the castle.
We had a picnic indoors for dinner. Both Cory and I hit the sack early as we were beat but Don went looking about and got pics of the castle all lit up as well as the castle and village across the valley.
This was the night that Germany beat Brazil 7-1 on their own turf in the semi-finals of the World Cup. Every time they scored you could hear the guests roar. We will still be in Germany for the final game next Sunday. Should be loads of fun.
