Day 56
So close yet so far from NZ. Today we woke up and threw open the doors to the terrace. The snow was bright and the trees shielded the houses and cars. It was a very amazing view. Breakfast was included and being very German we ate sausages before reverting back to baked beans and pastries and fruit salad. It was still three hours before we had to leave the hotel so we swam in the pool and would sit in the sauna until we couldn't stand it anymore and then dunk our selves in the freezing water bucket they had for that very purpose.
Finally it was time to leave and we jumped on a train and were whisked back to Munich. We dumped the bag at the hotel and found exactly what Munich was famous for. Another beer garden. This one was located and the Englisher garden. After a beer and some chips we decided to find the artificial wave (only for experts unfortunately). The map signs were no use because we didn't understand German so we set of in the direction of the lake at the end.
On arrival it was pretty clear we were in the wrong place but something we did spot was paddle boats. So we payed for half an hour and jumped in a red one. We all took turns driving (at least me Emma and James did. Mum was quite happy to sit in the back holding the umbrella. There were to big islands in the middle of the lake which we steered around, looking at some of the nest birds had built by piling sticks in the water until it was high and dry. A little nest island of its own. Half an hour went by fast and dinner time was nearing so we caught the bus back to central Munich.
It was Germany but sausages twenty four seven kind of makes you dislike them a tiny bit more. We found a nice looking Italian restaurant and opted for pizza and pasta. Home is only days away. I can't wait!
Auf Wiedersehen zum letzten Mal,
Holly
