Pretty Chillly


This week is when I saw the large change from Autumn to Winter. It was a pretty chilled out week due to the minimum temperature being minus 10 degrees!!

Thursday this week was the excursion to the cinema in Munich to see the new  movie "Fuck Jü Goethe" which was extremely funny and I was able to understand nearly all of what was said. The theater session was very interactive at the start they had two people come out and talk to the crowd about the movie and how it was made.  After the movie we had two of the actors come into the studio and have a Q&A with the people in the theater.

Friday night Kathi's dad picked Kathi, Franz and myself up to go to Oberhof and then we just relaxed and watched the Fußball on the TV.

Saturday was a giant sleep in and then we went to the Christkindlmarkt in Glenleiten near Kachelsee with Kathi's older sister Steffi her partner Naddl and Naddl's Parents.
Glenleiten it is a farming village up in the mountains in the summer and warmer months it's for farming and in the winter it is turned into a giant Christkindlmarkt  and also half of the houses are little museums.

Sunday was an early start due to Krisztina and Georg coming at 9:00 to take me to Neuschwanstein another castle made by King Ludwig II and it is also unfinished. This is the day I had been craving since the day Mr Kusch raised the subject about it in class last year. We begin the experience by Georg drifting around the corner in the carpark and at that very moment I knew it was going to be an awesome day. We walked up to a smaller castle called Hohenschwangau and we had a guided tour of the entire thing. We were not allowed to take any photos of inside the building but it was truly amazing.
We began our ascent to Neuschwanstein and when we arrived at the gate it was exactly how you would imagine a castle to be: Old, decorated and with a giant lowering gate.

Inside everything was either gold or resembled wealth.  King Ludwig II had a 1 ton chandelier and it was outstanding. When we exited the castle we walked around the castle and then along the side of the mountain to a bridge with the best view in the house of Neuschwanstein.

But all up this was an amazing week and now it is only 10 days until I feel the warm embrace that Australia's summer has to offer.
