I walked 8 miles today. A little over 1 mile to train station. Train to Munich about 45 minutes. Walked 6 miles in Munich. Then train back from Munich and mile back to hotel.
I would like some sympathy please....
Going from Vienna to Germany, there is a stark contrast. They feel as different as night and day. Vienna felt very fancy, opulent. In Germany, you come back down to earth from your lofty perch. Germany doesn't feel fancy, it feels practical. The architecture is distinct, but now showy.
The people here in Augsburg like to have a good time, as witnessed by the folk festival (Plarrer) going on next to the hotel. We went and listened to music in one of the beer tents last night and people were standing on the seats, singing along, shouting, clapping. It was really fun. Many were wearing their lederhosen and dirndl.
The Plarrer has made staying in Augsburg really fun. Everyday, thousands of people go, taking their kids on rides, trying carnival games, drinking in the beer tents, listening to music. The German food is great. It's different every day.
This place is where you see who German people really are, fun loving and proud. I am so glad we are staying in this smaller town (200,000) rather than a large city. It's a lot more fun.
