The Hostel took us on a pub crawl that night and I'm sure everyone else who went was Canadian. We all stopped on the brigde to have a shot, made by the hostel, of what I swear was just tobasco sauce and vodka. We all had lots of fun sampling the German beer and singing kareoke. No I did not sing! Eventually at 6am we decided it was a good idea to go to bed. The next day we explored the city with a couple of the Canadians and I had my very first European ice cream!
Our next train took us to Frieburg and from there to Titisee. Right in the middle of the Black Forest. Titisee turned out to be the worst excuse for a tourist town ever! Apart from the fact it had no tourists. It was completely empty and there was a park with a sign that said 'No dogs, No ball games, No picnics, And stay off the lawn' I mean what kind of park has no picnics!!!! But I guess it had a lovely huge lake to look at, but you couldn't even swim in it!
We found the hostel, found a microwave, cooked our uncle ben's and set up camp in a room with four enthusiastic Chinese ready for a day of walking and exploring Germany's black forest. Next morning we got up bright and early for breakfast before Richard fell back to sleep wasting my precious walking time! When he woke we got a free bus to the middle of nowhere and bought another Giant pretzel, those things were yummy! We went to get maps for our walk but unfortunatlely the tourism office was having a nap (Rich: for the rest of the day), so with my Genius idea I took a photo of the map in the town and we set off into the forest. Somewhere along the walk I asked an apparently ridiculous question that resulted in a 3 hours physics lesson from Richard. That day I learnt all about forces, atoms and electricity. (Rich: She somehow seems to have missed 5 years worth of Physics lessons!)
