Munich to Berlin

Hey guys!!!

Had a great time in Munich!! Had great weather! We went to a concentration camp in Dachau, the first camp. It was a very creepy place and extremely sad, it was tough learning about all the stuff that happened there. The day we went was overcast snow everywhere and freezing! It added to the mood of the whole place, very eerie!although it was a sad place, we are glad we went as we understand it more. The next day was much happier, we went to the fairytale castle! (neuschwanstein castle) it was perfect weather- sunny and clear, and lots of snow, it was just like a magical winter wonderland. (Alisha, I have lots of good pictures for you to look at!!!) it was quite a hike to get up there though! 25 minutes up a steep hill! ( in the millions of layers we were wearing).

Had dinner at the hofbrauhaus in Munich town, its where Hitler held some of his first meetings. Apart from that bit it had really nice food and beer though! Last night we caught an overnight train and 12 hours later arrived in Berlin. Lots of snow here and a fresh -11 degrees and set to get colder tomorrow! We are handling the cold quite well!

Hope everyone is well, and thanks everyone for the comments, it's always nice to hear from u lot in little nz!

Until next time,
Xoxo
