Day 27
Today we spent the day in Munich, it was nice to spend the day in the one place. The first thing we did was catch the train into the city and look around, we saw the Rathaus (city hall) and walked along a few streets. Then we went to the Deutches museum and looked around. It was mainly about different modes of transport so there were ships, planes, rockets and other similar vehicles there. After spending a bit more time in the museum we had a look around the markets and wandered through a few churches. Mia and Charlie both enjoyed lighting the candles that were laid out and lit candles in three different churches.

Day 28
We’re all heading back to Vienna today to conclude our holiday within a holiday! On the way we stopped off at Herrenchiemsee castle, a beautiful castle built on an island in the middle of a large lake. The castle was similar to Neuschwanstein, as it was made by the same man, as everything was dedicated to someone. This castle was built after the style of King Louis the 14th of France. The rooms were all dedicated to Louis or the kings following him. Then we headed towards Vienna and we were planning on calling in at a concentration camp, but the weather turned cold and started snowing heavily so we decided not to. Because we couldn’t go to the concentration camp we decided to go to Eagles Nest which was Hitler’s bunker during WWII. We walked through a small amount of the underground bunker system. Afterwards we all went outside and threw snowballs at eachother.
