Seriously, where are we?

Okay, so after Vienna we headed to Munich...or so we thought. As we pulled in to the main train station in Munich Andrew informed us that we had to get on another train for a "surprise" and wouldn't tell us where we were going. I was pretty sure he was taking us somewhere along the lines of a concentration camp. After a two hour train ride we ended up in Fussen, Germany. It was POURING and freezing cold, so we ran to our hostel and got completely soaked. By this time Audrey and I were really confused as to why we were there, but then we saw the view. There are three huge castles in the foot of the alps surrounding Fussen, at the end of the Romantic Road. One of these castles was the inspiration for Disney's Cinderella castle. We took a bus up to the castle, it was still freezing and raining, but it was AMAZING! I can honestly say it was the coolest castle i have ever seen in my life...and I've seen some castles in my day. The only word that can describe it is mystical. It was so cool. So, then we walked back down from the castle and found out that we had missed the last bus going back to Fussen. Great. There seemed to be a trail with signs and it said it would be about an hour walk, which was fine. So, we started off on the trail, went past this big lake with Swans, and it was all very beautiful...but the signs stopped pointing to Fussen. Since it had been raining all day there were puddles everywhere and some of the paths were flooded, so we were all freezing, wet, and hungry...IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE IN THE MOUNTAINS. We had also picked up a girl at the castle from Michigan, and she needed to get back to Munich that night...and it was getting pretty late. So, finally we came across a german family...the ONLY germans in germany who didnt speak english. But they had a map! I pointed to the direction we were heading and said, "Fussen?" the mans eyes got really wide and he said, "Nine!" and pointed in the exact opposite direction. At this point we had been wondering for about an hour or so... So, we followed where they said to go, climbed up a mountain and then down again, and suddently we saw civilization! We were in Fussen...then we left Fussen...then we got back to Fussen...then we found a Chinese restaurant...and we ate A LOT. They actually openned the restaurant for us, which was really nice... we really must have looked desperate... So, everything was fine.
