Italy
So we took an overnight train from Munich to Venice. Needless to say we didnt get much sleep. We got to Venice and tried to find some accomodations, but ofcourse the cheapest hotel was like 45€ a night so we said f that. We went to an internet cafe and found a hsotel in Florence. We toured Venice for the day and hopped on a train for Florence. We got here and were searching for our hostel when we saw a dude on his motorcycle get hit by a car literally 10 feet in front of us. Im surprised it doesnt happen more often the way the idiots drive on their mopeds and motorcycles. The dude seemed alright, maybe a broken leg. Eventually we found our hostel which is pretty nice. Its the most expensive one yet, but were only staying 2 nights so its straight. We already booked the rest of our trip so I think were ok from here on out. France is a little iffy though because we couldnt fine a cheap hostel so we booked a hotel room with 1 double bed. Hopefully were gonna call and see if we can sleep 3 in there with a cot or something. If they say no, were going to have to sneak one of us in at night. Oh well. But were gonna go explore Florence now...peace

Lost posts, castles, and Road Trip....
So i wrote a post yesterday and posted it, not sure where it ended up. But yesterday we woke up early and took a train to Neuschwanstein Castle. Google it. Its the one that Disney designed his castle after and it was really cool. Theres another castle right beside it so we toured both and spent the day there. Took a train home and got there around 9. We slightly celebrated the 4th of July but nothing too crazy. Had to check out this morning around 10, so we all woke up around 9:30 and packed everything up. Checked out and hopped on the train for Dachau. We toured the Dachau Concentration Camp for a long time which was pretty neat. They had a ton of history and what not which was neat. We came back to Munich and hit up the Hunting and Fishing museum. Which was, needless to say, very very badass. Kyle and Peter werent big fans but I liked it haha. Walking home, the highlight of the day, we saw the dude from Road Trip (not sure of his name, maybe Kyle? The skinny one who 'boinks' the fat black chick haha) so we stopped and got a picture with him. Instant classic. So we came back to the hostel, which weve already checked out of, and are just hanging out. Its raining (someone forgot to tell us it rains EVERY day in Europe, I only thought that was London.) so we cant really go out and do anything. Our train to Venice doesnt leave until 11:35 tonight and its only 4;30. So weve got some waiting around to do lol. But Im running out of minutes on this computer so Ill hit yall up from Italy when we get there....peace

The English version of last nights post....
Whats up everyone. I thought I had already posted it but i guess not, we are in Munich. Took the train from Vienna to here yesterday which took about 4 hours. We hung out for awhile then, obviously, went on a pübcrawl. there was only 5 of üs so it was kind of lame. But our guide needed to take some weight off of his back, so i took a few shots of the orangejuice he had. It tasted really weird though, almost like it had alcohol in it...who knows? I got back and tried to write a post in German, thats the only reason kyle had to translate. After that we went to bed, and had to wake up early to take the walking tour our pubcrawl guide made us promise to come on. So we did, and it was really good. Saw a ton of stuff in Munich and what not. Tomorrow we plan on going to the castle that Walt Disney modeled his castle after which should be straight. Then Thursday were gonna take a tour to Dachau, the concentration camp. After the walking tour today, we went through the massive gardens in the city. They have a 'nude beach', which is just grass beside the river. Dont go there, unless youre into old naked men. We saw some random Chinese pagoda then we went to the surfing area. Its really cool´. Its a part of the river that flows really fast so they put something in the water to make it rise up like a wave and the guys surf it. We got some sweet videos and pictures of this, which is cool. But were gonna head to the room and see whats going on. Probably just gonna hang out here tonight. Later...
P.S. Creighton were going to the Hunting and FIshing Museum tomorrow for you haha...

Day 10...
So last night was really fun. We started the night jsut chilling iun the common room and met this guy from France named Chris. He's like 27 or something but hes cool as hell. We started talking then he went and grabbed a half liter of vodka and some coke so thats how we started the night. After the 4 of us finished that badboy and drank a few beers we headed to some lounge. There, I had a beer, kyle and chris ahd some Chardonnay, and peter had a 'viagra' which is some crazy drink. We then hit up another cheap bar, had a few beers, nad headed to the bangingest club ive bever been to. Its 5 stories and each story is like a differenzt club. Each floor has a different club with a bar and a chill room with a bar. Each floor plays different music. The mojority of the poepúle were on the floor with the 80s american music haha. So we danced to some 'beat it' and what not last night. We all chilled and did our own thing till around 4. We ended up taking a cab home....oh yea, the cab driver on the way to the club told us he had been in jail for 5 years for have 9.5 kilos of heroin on him in Copehagen haha.
This morning we woke up around 1:30 or 2. We grabbed some 'Eurodogs' and took our own walking tour around the city. It ended up taking about 4 or 5 hours but it was straight. We saw a bunch of big ass castles and cathedrals and what not. Don't worrry cathy we took plenty of picturs hhaa. We came back to the hostel and took a little nap. Now were just chilling in the common room with Chris and some Nordic Ice (Czeck Vodka for 5 dollars a fifth haha] but weher about to watch a movie...peace...

Day 8\9 cont...
Yesterday, we decided to get up early and take a walking tour of Berlin. So we woke up at 2:30 or so and grabbed a quick bite to eat. We headed to the pickup and waited a few minutes. Ofcourse it was cold as shit and very windy on top of that. Apparently it has been really nice in Berlin until we got there. Oops..So we took the tour which was badass. It was through the same company we took the tour in Amsterdam with, neweurope.eu. Our guide was from England but he knew his stuff. We saw a bunch of stuff and took lots of pictures (good news cathy, we have over 100!] After the tour, we went back to the hostel and hung out for awhile. Around 9 we headed out to see the Reichstag and the big ass gate (forget the name] all lit up. We got some sweet pics of the gate then headed to the Reichstag, which is the parliament. There is a huge dome on top of that you can walk around and look down into the building. The dome closes at 10 and we showed up at 10:01 but luckily we got in the last tour. It was really cool. We decided to take it easy after doing two pub crawls in the last two nights. We came home, chilled in the lobby for awhile, then went to the room, read, and passed out.
Woke up this morning and checked out, left our finnish friend Joona who we've been travelling with the past few days, and headed to the train station. We grabbed some McDonalds and hopped on the train. We thought we were gonna have to buy a ticket once we left Dresden and headed to the Czech Rep because its not covered in our Eurail pass. But in typical American style we stuck it to the man and managed to get off for free. We rode first class with all of the old german businessmen too good for coach haha. It was funny to see us 3 scrubs reeking of B.O. mixed in with the "professional" crowd. But the Czech conductor came by to check our ticket and we showed it to him, expecting to have to pay. Luckily he couldn't read or something and he just said OK and kept walking. We got off the train station and began our search for a hostel. We walked around for awhile until I walked into a Ramada and asked for the directions to a hostel. He pointed us towards this one unfortunately haha. Its pretty sketchy and not nearly as nice as the last 2 but oh well it will do. We're only staying 2 nights so I guess we'll just have to drink a few biers so we won't mind the sketchiness haha. We just got back from some pizzeria and ate alfredo and a drink for 146Kc or around 5€, which is really cheap. But I think we're gonna go to this club up the street and see whats going on there. But I've been working on a "Random Thoughts" post that I will put on here tomorrow probably.
Pops, nice article and thanks for the shoutout. Cathy, unfortunately Peter is still in customs at the airport in Amsterdam so thats why he hasn't commented. Maddie, how the hell did you bust your toes that bad? Teresa, still waiting on those other addresses, the stuff in Berlin looked fake so we didn't even bother buying anything. Everyone else, I'll throw you in the Random post...peace
P.S...If you could't tell, I finally decided to make a sober post since everyone seems to be reading. I'm sure it won't last long though, and expect more 'colorful' posts later :-].

Day 7....
Hey whats up everyone. Today was pretty uneventful. We didn't wake up until 3, yes 3 haha. We woke up and walked around town for a little bit. We were going to take a walking tour but obviously we woke up too late. Instead we just walked to the massive TV\radio tower close to our hostel. As soon as we got there, it started to pour down rain like always around here. We chilled under the street in some subway until the rain passed. We walked home and decided to take yet another pubcrawl haha. Since you have to buy alcohol at every bar on this crawl, unlike amsterdam, we decided to buy some jaeger before hand. We each bought like 10€ worth, which would cost like 35dollars in the US. Needless to say we had fun on the pubcrawl but it was an early night. Its only 3am. We would have stayed longer but my fellow travelers were struggling if you know what i mean. I helped them home and they went and passed out haha. It was fun though. We plan on waking up and taking the free NewBerlin tour tomorrow morning (yea right) or afternoon tour. It should be pretty bad ass...
