Day 63 - Paragliding!!!

So today I had to get up early once again to go on a tour to Castle.

I got breakfast, then caught the coach for about 2 hours to the castle (it was a pretty huge tour group of about 45 people unfortunately…)

On the way there, the guide explained that we could go paragliding if we wanted to, because the weather has been so good this week.

So I made a split decision, and decided I wanted to do it.

SOOOOO happy I did. It was awesome. I’ll admit, I’m not a real pansy when it comes to those kinds of things, I haven’t really had the opportunity to do a lot, but it doesn’t really scare me. However, running straight off the edge of a cliff… Yeah, little intimidating. But so worth it. The views were amazing, we went STRAIGHT through the middle of a cloud, and even the guide I went up with said that weather conditions like this almost NEVER happen, that its like maybe 3 times a year that they get days that clear. So I was pretty lucky.

After this, the bus took us back into town to continue the tour. They gave us a choice wether to hike up to the castle (took about 45 minutes, up a steep hill) or to catch a bus… I was the only person out of 45 that took the bus… There were like OLD people that hiked… But fuck it, I was still way hungover, I regret nothing.

So the bus didn’t take too long, lol. I got up and walked around and went to Mary’s bridge, which is where you get the best view of the castle. I then met up with the group and did the tour inside the castle. It’s a cool tour, pretty short, because only like 16 of the 60 rooms are actually finished. The tour guide was really good, he was super knowledgeable. I have a feeling he might have been slightly autistic, but I thought he did an awesome job.

After this we hiked back down the mountain, this wasn’t so bad though, as it was all downhill, and then we caught the bus back to Munich.

I had some dinner, and headed back to the hostel to pack my bag for the bus tomorrow.

Overall REALLY amazing day! Saw some really really cool stuff today.

Things that made me happy today; Ballsing up and jumping off a cliff.

Things that made me sad today; 60+ year olds having more energy to hike up a mountain than me…
