Because the schools in Germany have a shot summer break they have longer breaks during the year, like fall break! So directly following the exchange program with Latvia was the start of fall break, which is two weeks long.
During the first few days of fall break my family and I drove by autobahn to Bayern (or Bavaria in English). The Autobahn(Highway) was the real start to the adventure, I had only been on the Autobahn once or twice before and for only a short time. We left at 05.00am so we could avoid traffic, and we did exactly that! In the no speed limit zone we were able to hold about 200KmH(about 125mph), and we were mostly in the slow lane. It was pretty fun.
Bayern has a beautiful landscape, and it was really cool to see. We were in the Bavarian Forest in a condo type thing. Im not really sure all that we did, we tryed to see alot of things in only four days, I ate some strage food, saw some historic churches and buidings and also a castel city. so I took alot of pictures of the old citys and historic things. We spent a day at a glass factory I guess you could call it. I got a chance to blow some glass, and buy some cool things, like a beer boot! It was really cool to watch the people work with glass also, there were people hand crafting things before my eyes. We also went caving one morning which was also fun.
Hopefully I can get a few pictures up soon.
