Brief Motherland Update

So far in Germany, me and Lindsay manage to swing up from Frankfurt Hahn airport in an extremely long car right that lasted till 4 in the morning up to Kiel...spent two nights in Kiel and just walked around the ports and stuff...we took an early train to Berlin.

(Brewery in Kiel...below)...

That was all the important things, Check Point Charlie, The Wall, Holocaust Memorial, Parliament building, Brandenburg Tor...yaya...

From Berlin we took the overnight down to Munich and walked for what seemed like years to the hostel that was "10 minutes" from the station.
We saw Dachau which was obviously extremely sad, but really telling of how everything went down during the dark years (definitely recommend it as a hard, but must see).
After that we went on a Third Reich tour of the city seeing where all that scary stuff got it's start etc...and there's some really scary neo-classical buildings around here (tour with Radius Tours).

Today we took a leap over to Füssen to see Neuschwanstein and all that wonderful disneyland castle ish...probably one more day here, and we'll see what happens.
