Austria

We only stayed in Austria for one day so this blog is going to be very short.

After leaving Neuschwanstein we weren't in the car for long until we crossed the border into Austria. Then it was a 1 to 2 hour drive to a place called Innsbruck (pronounced insbrook), which was where we were staying the night.

Germany

After saying goodbye to our cousins, Aunty and Uncle we went for a big drive to Germany and stayed in a hotel in a place called Stuttgart. We stayed there for one night. In the morning we packed our things and got in the car. Half way to the next place that we were staying in we stopped and went to the Porshe Museum.

In one section there was some trophies hanging on wires. After going in the museum we went to the Porshe restaurant and had lunch. Then we drove to Munchen (pronounced mewnik). At Munchen we stayed in a hotel for one night then moved to an apartment (that was still in Munchen). That day we had a walk around after a while it got really cold and we were lucky that the place we went to was nice and warm. the place we went to was a beer hall (Germany is famous for a beer festival called Octoberfest and there is beer halls everywhere. The beer hall we went to was packed and noisy, and we only just found a table for us to sit at. At the beer hall me, Elki and Eden had lemonade. The glass was ENORMOUS and it was nearly filled to the top.

After drinking our half a litre of lemonade (or beer) each we went out into the cold again and got a hot chocolate. Then we walked back and ate big pretzels from the supermarket when we got home.

The day after we drove to a place called Dachau (pronounced dak-oww) and went to a concentration camp memorial site. There we got to go into a barrak (where the Jewish people would sleep), the bunker (a bit like a jail),

the gas chamber (disguised as showers and at Dachau luckily wasn't actually used) and much more stuff. At the concentration camp I learnt a lot but most is to sad and mean to say. After going to the concentration camp we went home. The day that we left Germany we went to Austria. When we were leaving the man that owned the apartment we were staying in told us that the hotel that we were staying in in Munchen before we came to the apartment had had a fire so if we had stayed there and not come to the apartment we might have had to be evacuated. After not long of being on the road we stopped to go to a castle. It is called Neuschwanstein (don't ask me how to pronounce it),

and its the most visited tourist attraction in Germany... so we visited it as tourists. Then we drove to Austria.
