Hotel Ibis Linz

hey guys, I actually don't have that much time to write for you today, because we went to Neuschwanstein castle (the disneyland castle) and it was absolutely AMAZING!!! Words cannot describe how good it was and if I start writing about it I may end up going on for pages and pages. I brought A LOT (and I mean a lot) of souviners because I'm only going to be there once and had so much fun (especially on the 4 hour bus ride ...

... more difficult to get the full impact of the presentation.

An estimated 100,000 people were killed here. Auschwitz and Birkenau, near Krakov, were massively larger than this. The presentations of personal effects had also been exceptionally poignant. Never the less, the experience here is very powerful.

As we leave the camp, we walk around an exceptional sculpture presentation. The powerful material is contrasted ...

Thursday morning caught a shuttle bus from Cesky Krumlov to Linz which was 350KR. Kinda waste when I have my Eurail ticket, but train to Linz would take 5 hours with 3 changes and bus takes 90 minutes...
Walked around Linz for ...

... favorite restaurants – and it did not disappoint. Finally, some good kurbiscremesuppe and then some sort of gnocchi like pasta, and a cake made out of grits with a plum sauce for dessert (may sound weird or even disgusting but, trust me, it was deeeelish). Since it was my last night, we had to go out in style, so we got a round of marillenschnapps for the table. Then, when we got home, for some reason we decided to finish off a bottle of ...

I know it is cliché-ish for me to call Austria fairy tale land, but it truly is. Even Linz, which often gets a bad rap for being very industrial, is divided by the Danube River, along which is a beautiful park with walking trails, and is surrounded by rolling, lush green hills, beautiful churches, and a palace sitting on top of one of the hills. Additionally, Linz has been dubbed the culture capital of Europe for 2009. It is filled with museums of everything from modern ...

... reverence
and humility. Over the millennia a new mystery was formed and
only a few chosen ones, like high priests, spiritual masters and
shamans were granted to study it. They were the ones that got a
deeper insight in the secret of THE TIME GUARDIANS. The beings
were referred to as visitors from other systems, protectors or
destroyers and even gods.

... and developed into some Australian and French wines, and spiralled downwards with some Jagermeister... In any case, it was absolutely delicious and a roaring success! I had a really good time, and I think everyone else did too? They also gave me a farewell gift, comprising of an Austrian cookbook and a book about Linz! I was truly touched, awwww :3 The next morning I was touched by hangover, but still went for breakfast in the raab mensa with a few others, and said ...

... dinner, which I'm grateful for as getting back to the hotel at or after midnight every night was wearing me down! Gabriela, Valerie and I hung out for a while in the hotel, swapping photos and listening to Portugese music, when we decided on a quick McDonald's meal. Now, I know I said no more junk food, but they were giving away these glasses which a close friend of Gabriela's would have really wanted and she absolutely had to get the ...

... battle axes. The adult in me could only think of how it would hurt like hell to be hit with one of these things. My favorite weapon was from the Peasants' War of the 16th century. The weapon was just a tree branch with giant nails pounded into it. Simple, yet effective. There were also exhibits on peasant and noble furniture, glassware, and folk art. The top floor had a collection of currency. The collection included everything ...
