my immune system hates me

bahhh i feel like i've been sick this whole trip! i was sick in london, belgium, the netherlands, france, and spain, got better, then got sick again in nice, then got better ish and now i'm sick again. boooo. so i didn't get to see as much of vienna as i would have liked.. hopefully the baths in hungary will cure me? or maybe i'll just sleep for the next 5 days... no, i really need to see europe!! bah.

anyways, i left you off after i went to füssen and hiked to the castles! well the next day was defintely sunnier! still chilly though, i went to the glockenspiel at 11 at marienplatz, and then wandered to maximillianstraße which is where all of the ritzy stores are and then had a delicious lunch of bratwurst, saurkraut and bavarian potato salad, yummm, followed by some sort of pastry that i don't remember the ridiculously complicated name of... but it was a waffle with marshmallow-y cream all covered in chocolate.. then i took the metro to the university section of town... and fell in love! again! gosh, i love munich. it's my favorite city, even better than paris. the university neighborhood is so wonderful! and then i went to the englischer garten which is absolutely stunning. i want to move to munich. it's wonderful. then i went back to the tent to meet up with some people from utah that i had met the night before while cooking dinner, we went to the hofbrauhaus biergarten, which is one of the worlds most famous beer gardens, it was huge! and there was an oompah band! i had a liter of the hofbrau dark beer and a pretzel that was as big as my face (and i have a picture! haha) then we went back to the campsite and made some stir fry and called it a night!

the next morning, i woke up and headed for the train station! i took the 9:27 train to vienna! or wien as it is called here... the train took me through salzburg, which was absolutely gorgeous. so beautiful! but very rainy... when i arrived in vienna it was sunny and beautiful! i checked in at my hostel, changed into my favorite black dress and headed out to see vienna! i got a delicious kebab from the most adorable austrian kebab lady ever and headed for the center of town... i saw some pretty buildings and hung out in a park then grabbed some gelato and headed back to the hostel.

this morning i woke up feeling like someone hit me over the head with a frying pan, so sick. i got up and showered and walked to naschmarkt, which is the big street market, i got kebab there for lunch. yum. it's so cheap! and delicious! haha then i went to st stephans cathedral, the big church in the center of town, which was beautiful, by then i was still feeling really sick, so i decided to call it a day and head back... i napped, did some laundry, and made myself some dinner... hopefully i'll feel better tomorrow! i'm headed to budapest tomorrow!!!!
