These places were huge with many cool and amazing stuff inside it. We woke up in the morning ate breakfast and left at 11:30 AM. It took us about an hour to go to Nymphenburg Palace. The palace was so big that it looked about 1 km long. It took us about an hour to complete it and then we ate lunch in the garden and went to the Munich Residence.

Day 8 of Europe Vacation

 I had an awesome time in Germany and I will never forget it. Today we were leaving for a city called Salzburg. Salzburg is a city in Austria. The reason it is so significant is that Mozart, one of the best composers of all time, was born here, and also, Salzburg was the home for the filming of the movie The Sound of Music. I was really excited after hearing this. I wake up in the morning, and we get ready in a hurry. My dad camee later because of work so we met him in the evening. I was so excited that I remembered the way to get to the rain station from Google Maps! We then leave and, after taking public transportation, we arrive at Munich Hauptbahnhof, also known as Munich Central Station. This station most of the underground trains and many suburban trains going to it along with long-distance trains. We go there a bit early and are confused about where to go as it is a big station. Finally, we reach the platform and see the train arrive. We boarded and realized there wasn't any...

Day 7 of Europe Vacation

 Today I woke up in a rush as breakfast was about to close. So I ate breakfast quickly. Then we packed up to leave tomorrow by the time it was afternoon. Today we decided to go inside the new town hall in Marinplatz. The architecture was amazing and had many beautiful arches. We tried to go to a library which is known for its beauty but couldn't cause it was only accessible during the weekend tours. So we decided to go on a tram which would show parts of the city we have missed. Unfortunately construction started for a rail couple days prior so the tram didn't come to the stop we were at. After 30 minutes we went on another bus till its last stop. After that we took a 30 minute bus ride to our station and ate dinner and this is the last day in Germany. The vacation isn't over yet tomorrow we are going to a different country.

Day 2 of Europe Vacation

 Today was the 2nd day of many for our Europe vacatio n. Today our plan was to visit a castle called Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany. It was about a 1.5 hour drive from Munch. Some history about this castle is that the Neuschwanstein Castle was built by Kind Ludwig II. The construction began in 1869 but unfortunately it never was fully completed after Ludwig's death in 1886. The Neuschwanstein Castle is known as the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland in LA. Walt Disney was inspired by the architectural style which influenced the design. So we first wake up at about 6 AM and got ready. Then we ate breakfast at the hotel while my dad rented a the car. Turns out the car we were supposed to get wasn't available and instead the gave us a BMW sports car. So we left for our mini road trip. When we reached there we parked at a parking lot and then went up to the castle on a horse powered carriage. The castle was large and beautiful with really h...

It is so big that now people go through that tunnel with their cars. There is even the biggest tree in the world called the Sherman tree. Did you know that they are buses that go around the park.
