We have been in Germany for less than 3
weeks and I’m already understanding what they say better, (even when they talk
really fast). As a group, the Australians went to Munich and visited some churches,
went to the new town house and had a tour of the city. The view from the new
town house was amazing you could see the whole city, and on the wall it showed
where each of the important buildings were.
Each church you went in you could pay
0.50euro to light a candle and put on the bench for you loved ones to bring
them wealth and good luck, and if they are deceased to rest in peace, Zoe and I
each bought 5 candles from the 2 different churches we placed them for our
friends and family. In one of the churches we went to it was believed that a
devil was helping them build the church and he said I will only help if you
have no windows, but the people in the church said they could not build the
church unless they had windows that it was stupid no to have them, so anyway
the made the windows and when the devil came back he was so angry he stomped on
the group and left a foot print which is still there. Next we went to the place
Hitler first appeared and gathered the troops to fight off the Jews, and where
so many lives started to go wrong.
When
we were walking across one of the bridges we saw this surfing place under a
bridge where the water ran, and the people were all practicing their surfing,
it was very interesting to watch. We have been doing our impressions project a
bit and what we do for it is the differences between Germany and Australia, we
have been put into groups and Chloe is in my group. On the weekend my host
family and I went to Oberaudorf and went on the massive slide there.
We went to the sun gods castle built by
Ludwick and we had a tour of the castle, but sadly we weren’t allowed to take
any pictures of it. When we went there, there were so many statues and
figurines and inside the castle the lady said that all in all they used only
5kg of gold, but most of the palace was gold plated. We went to one of the
local breweries and got told all about the history and how they make the beer,
and we were shown all the stages of production, and after we went to lunch.
Last weekend as a group we hiked up mount
wendlestein for about 3 1-2 hours to a hut and camped the night there in little
cabins, and in the morning we caught the train to the near top (which was too
steep to walk up) and then walked up many steps to get to the top, and saw the amazing view. The view from the
top was just breath taking it was worth the long, steep walk. On the way down a
few dramas happened but we all got home safe.
