The Map

For memory purposes

It seems getting to the internet is harder than I first imagined it would be so Im making a list of what Ive done and hoping to fill in the rest when and if I get a chance. Ive bought a notebook to write when ont he trains so as to better remember.

Sept 9 - Woke up in Grindelwald, made my way to Bern, stopping in Thun. Slept in Bern.

Sept 10 - Woke up in Bern, travelled to Basel, Luczern, and finally Zurich. Slept in Zurich.

Sept 11 - Woke up in Zurich, travelled to Steim am Rhein, via Schoffhaussen. Slept in Schoffhausen in a castle overlooking the Rhinefall.

Sept 12 - Woke up at the Rhinefall, saw Schoffhaussen and Konstancz (+baden in Konstancz). Tried to get to Stuttgart, didnt happen, travelled for three hours pointlessly and ended up spending the night in a hotel in Konstancz.

Sept 13 - Woke up in Konstancz, travelled to Fussen. It took me 8+ hours to get there. Never ever EVER take the regional trains in Germany. Saw nothing but read my book for Oxford. Ended up sharing a hostel in Fussen with a Germany University student group who decided it would be fun to take the American to the bars. Stumbled home somehow and slept in Fussen.

Sept 14 - Woke up in Fussen, went to see `The Castles´ - Schloß Neuschwanstein and Schloß Hoffangau. Both beautiful, had a great time, but was quickly reminded why I hate groups of people so much. Got on a train to Munich. From Munich switched over to Nurnburg and am sitting and writing this from Nurnburg. Sleeping here, tommorow I see Nurnburg and get on the 5 hour train to Koln (Cologne) and Aachen. Then Belgium....



Hope the map updated - all is well but the internt is scarce, will write when I get a chance.
