Two hours later, Owen and Monica appeared at the Los Angeles International Airport looking like tourists. Each of them had a backpack and only packed some simple changes of clothes.
Twelve hours later, the plane successfully landed at Munich Franz Joseph Strauss International Airport, the second largest airport in Germany.
This was really a spontaneous trip. Owen didn't make any preparations in advance. It was just because Monica's hometown is Munich, so the first stop was decided here.
Munich is the largest city in southern Germany, the third largest city in Germany after Berlin and Hamburg, and the second largest financial center in Germany.
Irving thought it would be night when they arrived here, but he didn't expect to find that it was still daytime when they got off the plane. Munich is 9 hours ahead of Los Angeles, so even if they flew for 12 hours, it was only noon when they arrived here.
Monica's home is in the old city. She became a little excited as soon as she got off the plane, as if she was familiar with everything she looked at.
She was still a child when she left, but she was an adult when she came back here again. Time flies, things change and people change.
Here, the popularity of English is not high, and people prefer to speak German. Fortunately, Monica, a German-American, understands German.
After getting off the plane, the two took a taxi and headed straight to the old city. She could no longer recognize many places.
She hadn't been back for more than ten years, and the place had long since changed. She only remembered that her home lived along the Isar River, but she could no longer find the exact location.
Walking on the streets of the old city, watching the people coming and going, Monica still felt a sense of intimacy even though she could not find the house where her family once lived.
Especially the German spoken by everyone around her. Even though she grew up in the United States, she has never forgotten the German language. In terms of accent, she is no different from an ordinary German.
Owen was walking on the streets of Munich with Monica in his arms. Monica no longer expected to find her former home. Her home was in the old city, and it might have been demolished due to the development of the city.
She has already thought about it. From now on, she is just a tourist and can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Munich.
They visited Marienplatz and Wittelsbach Palace, which brought back memories of her childhood, especially Marienplatz, which she had a very deep memory of.
The Gothic-style New City Hall and its prominent facade are particularly eye-catching on the square, and the magical chimes in the city hall bell tower ring loud and clear.
Owen and Monica found a hotel to put down their backpacks and traveled lightly. At the moment, they were wearing sunglasses, each holding a piece of Bavarian weisswurst in his hand and eating it with gusto.
This kind of sausage is the most famous specialty of Bavaria. Every visitor to Munich must try this white sausage.
Owen's mouth was full of delicious food. The sausage seller told him that this thing tastes better when dipped in sweet mustard sauce. It goes perfectly with a glass of Bavarian beer.
The boss didn't lie, Owen really tasted better when paired with sweet mustard and beer. Owen enjoyed eating it, he really liked it, and Monica also had childhood memories after eating it.
When you come to Munich, if you don’t visit the famous Neuschwanstein Castle, it’s like you haven’t come. This is the business card of German tourism, and it is the prototype of the fairy tale castle in the famous Disneyland.
Neuschwanstein Castle is a palace built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria at the end of the 19th century near the German-Austrian border town of Schwangau.
The entire castle is white, very beautiful in appearance, full of romance, and coupled with the picturesque landscape of the Bavarian countryside, it is a beautiful picture from any angle.
Owen also led Monica to the famous Marianne Bridge, which is the best place to take pictures of Neuschwanstein Castle. It is an iron bridge spanning two hills.
The Marianne Bridge spans between the cliffs. Looking down is the waterfall abyss, and the truly beautiful Neuschwanstein Castle in the distance. Standing on the bridge, people will unconsciously feel relaxed and happy.
It was almost dark after returning from Swansea Castle, and both of them were a little hungry, so they went to the most famous local "Hall Brewery". This is rated as the favorite beer hall by tourists and is a holy place for beer lovers.
In addition to beer, the pork dishes here are also very good. Owen tried the roasted pork knuckle and roasted pork on the recommendation of the store, which tasted quite good.
After spending an afternoon wandering around Munich's tourist attractions, Irving also had a preliminary impression of Germany.
Probably because of the seriousness and old-fashioned nature of the German people, the people here seem to be taciturn, unsmiling, and not very enthusiastic.
But if you ask a strange German for directions on the street, they will enthusiastically and patiently guide you. If they don’t know, they will even ask others for you, or go out of their way to accompany you for a while.
Until you understand.
To some lazy Americans, this is a strange country.
After dinner, the two of them went back to the hotel. It is said that the beer hall is the most lively at night, but they were tired after a day of flying and shopping all afternoon. They didn't even have sex when they returned to the hotel.
Just fell asleep.
…
The next day, the early morning sunlight penetrated into the house through the curtains, bringing a mottled light and shadow.
Owen felt his nose itching in a daze, as if something was always getting into his nostrils. He opened his eyes slightly and saw Monica smiling and flicking the tip of her hair in front of Owen's nostrils.
What a waste of a day. I didn’t deal with you last night, but you actually learned to provoke...
Owen threw Monica down under him. Looking at the white mass in front of him, Owen immediately lost sleep.
Amidst laughter like silver bells, Owen kissed Monica's lips, and kept rubbing her buttocks with his palms. A triumphant smile appeared on the corner of Monica's mouth, and she wrapped her hands around Owen's neck.
.
His whole head was pressed into the softness, and Owen almost suffocated. His body began to become congested, and the orc genes in his body quietly awakened. Owen roughly lifted one of Monica's long legs, and the morning exercise began.
…
An hour later, the two of them had packed up and appeared on the streets of Munich again. After the clouds and rain, Monica looked even more beautiful. The two planned to go shopping in the morning and head to Berlin in the afternoon.
Now that I have come to Germany, I must go to Berlin, the capital, no matter what.
Irving had a hard time deciding how to get to Berlin. The distance from Munich to Berlin is about 600 kilometers, about 370 miles, and it takes more than six hours to drive.
However, the train only takes 5 hours, but the price of the train is very expensive, several times that of driving.
After some discussion, the two finally decided to take the train, not because they were not short of money, but because they felt that only the train could better experience the scenery along the way.
Then, things turned tragic.
First, the bulletin board showed that the train they were taking was 5 minutes late, then it became 10 minutes, and then suddenly it became an hour and a half. Owen was going crazy. He couldn't understand why the Germans, who were always strict and punctual, were so messed up on the train.
It is said that Germans are as rigorous as precision instruments. Even the eggs sold in supermarkets are numbered. However, Deutsche Bahn, the largest railway operating company in Europe, has remained steadfast in its twenty-three years of operation.
He is heading down a deceitful road, never to return.
After a long wait of an hour and a half, the train finally appeared. Owen looked at the accustomed expressions of other German passengers and was speechless. No wonder people say that when working in Germany and being late for an appointment, "the Deutsche Bahn is late" is a question that will never be asked.
