Part Three of my travels to Europe, as I wrote in the Journal to myself. In this part, Salzburg, and part of GERMANY! The second best and second most memorable part of the trip, in my view anyway.

DAY NINE: Over 2200 pictures overall now. 5 VW buses so far, 1 Beetle. 1 Karmann Ghia. Still in Karlsruhe, train is delayed, it is past midnight, almost 1AM, we were supposed to have a 5 minute stop....1 hour later. Boiling hot in here!! The women from the trip took all the food so we, the men, are starving. First taste of Mineralwasser. Es ist gut! Supposed to be in Salzburg at 5/6AM..

(later in the morning). Everyone in our room slept well. Nasty now.. 10minutes in Salzburg, Austria. Alpsee.. Stopped at a Mc Donaldys. CLASSY (compared to back home) With Cafe! McCafe. Back to DD bus, everyone fell asleep again.. At Weiskirche (not sure if that is the name) Hostel near Füssen (now in Germany). Very impressive.. Off to Neuschwanstein, and Hogenschwangau. (castles). Both Beautiful, Battery almost died. Turned off sound to conserve power + faster pictures. (haven't turned it on since). Dinner was good. Some iffy wine with the "chips" and wiener schnitzel. They did not know what Port was! Sat with Mandi, Laura and Craig. Good discussion. Feeling slightly depressed. Haven't talked to Daria since I was in London. And haven't talked to Family since last day in London. Almost 6 days! Especially walking back to the Hotel from the dinner. (30min walk!) I felt that I could see Daria and I in Salzburg.

(later now..) Sharing room with Ben and Sam, as I have all trip, but it seems like Sam and Ben are akward around me. I don't know why. Ben especially. Depressing. Don't know the reason. We were supposed to go to Dachau today, but now, now Sam and Ben are talking about Fears, life Mortality, feelings, Dachau, much like they've been doing all trip. Staying up until 3AM talking about Religion, Beliefs and such things. (was Impossible to get to sleep because of it. But I kept quiet about it)

DAY TEN: 2500 pictures. Tour of Salzburg, Great Breakfast. Brie cheese (my favorite cheese) - MELT IN YOUR MOUTH type. Internet - no message from Jenny, homestay. Salzburg is pretty beautiful. Definately come back (maybe in Sept.!/Oct.) Huge Castle, 150/50 (Can't read my own writing) churches tour of Dom zu Salzburg. 5 hours of Free time. Walked around and shopped took pictures.. The usual people.. But Ben dissappeared for a while, I think he's missing Fauve and thinking about Dachau, he is very stressed and feels for it. After 3 hours I got bored and seperated from the groupe and found Josh.. Went to an Irish Pub. Was like a Cavern in there, Coolest pub Ive ever seen. Enjoyed my first Guiness.  DAMN GOOD. The bar tender drew a four leaf clover on the top in the foam, so cool.. Dinner - RAN OUT OF BEER!! HOW DO YOU RUN OUT OF BEER IN EUROPE?! After dinner went to concert dedicated to Mozart. All piano. All soloists. all people younger than 18.  After that some of us went to the bar and had some more to drink. Then Frau McCallister (My German Teacher) began dancing with the stupid idiots who were drunk. Now sitting in Room.. Ben and Sam talking about Fauve and Kelsy, to do and not to do, etc.. Learned a couple of things..

DAY ELEVEN: "Arbeit Macht Frei" Sight of Sun! Early Morning - 5:30, left Salzburg for Müchen, or known in the English-Speaking-World as Munich. Arrive at 7:15. Raining hard, even some SNOW! Rain on and off Leaving Munich, the sun came out  for us at Dachau. Everyone was Silent and respectful. Ben went through it, staying a bit seperate from the group and sunglasses on the whol time. Silence for 64 people is hard to acheve, trust me. Now on the bus to Dinkelsbuhl eating a sausage, prezel, and drinking a beer. (I cant read this next part at all!) Its starting to looking like a storm is coming. Munich was over-RUSHed, (thats actually what it says, god I hatemyself for writing that) and so not many pictures. We were supposed to be there all day, but Dachau was supposed to be yesterday, so everything got screwed. Going through a forest currently... Staying in a hotel built in the year 1450. Yes. 1450. Its 2008. Original building. Amazingly beautiful.. Dinner sucked though, wasn't very good + they forgot to bring me a plate - everyone else at my table finished theirs. I have the cot.. &&&& Ben and Sam are talking about Life again...
