| The cobblestone streets were so beautiful, I had to get a picture with my rain boots and umbrella! |
 |
| Ausburg was such a cute town. The buildings were beautiful! I know I say this about every town I've been to, they had a look that was all their own! |
After such a long day on Friday, my friend Alicia and I
decided to sleep in and explore the smaller town that our hostel was located in
and take the train into town later. We were staying in a town called Ausburg,
which is about an hour from the city center of Munich. We got ready for the
day, asked where the town center was located, and were on our way. We stopped
for coffee at a cute coffee shop called PowWow, which are apparently pretty
popular in Germany. Since there were not many tourists in this town, everyone
was there meeting up for Saturday morning coffee with friends and chit chatting
in German. It was very cool just to relax and see what everyday life was like
in a small German town. The PowWow was so cute and completely decked out in
Pink. Everything was pink, which I of course loved! It almost felt like we were
in our own little movie. We stayed there and had a couple Cappuccinos, just
listening to everyone enjoying their morning, as it was a pretty dreary day
outside again. After our coffee, we explored a little more and found out that
it has a great little shopping district! What a nice surprise!

After meandering
around all the different shops and seeing the beautiful historic buildings, we
realized it was already six o’clock and we were getting pretty hungry. We went
to a traditional German restaurant and had to laugh when the waitress handed us
thick menus, which were of course completely in German (I don’t know what we
were expecting!). Just as we were about to do eenie meenie to pick what we wanted,
the waitress asked if we wanted an English menu. Thank goodness! We ended up
ordering Wiener schnitzel, which was SO TASTY! What a huge helping though! I
don’t think they do much dieting in Germany J.
After dinner, we headed back to our hostel to hang out for the rest of the
night. It was nice to just meander around for the day with no real agenda.
After today, I felt like I got a real taste of Germany instead of just the hype
of Oktoberfest, which was great!
