Germany Part II

Germany was probably one of the most joyful places that I have ever been to, besides the wilderness and the redwoods. These three places should definetly be in your bucket list. One of my favorite places to visit was the Marianplatz. It basically is a big shopping market place....or more of an outdoor mall. There is this huge government buidling in the middle of it all (picture below). This building was SOOOO huge and so detailed. there was not a single inch of it that was not covered in some carving or elaberate design. On the middle of it is a big clock that dances, chimes and turn at 11,12, and 5. Luckly mom and I got to see it! SO COOl!



The green part of the building is where the characters of the clock were.

Since so many people are there every day, there are these creepy looking people every where trying to get money. this lady was so weird and moved like a robot. I was happy to get this picture with her...although i stood so far away from her because I was too scared to get too close. tehehe!

Basically, there are bikes EVERYWHERE!!! EVERYONE rides a bike! So funny! they even have thier own 'lane' of side walk to ride on!

THis was at the back of one of the palaces. Very cool. There was a whole line of these masive sculptures along the side of the castle.

This is the back garden veiw of the castle from the previous blog. SOOO beautiful and quaint.

They have the most quaint gardens with cute tree paths off to the said! it was like a maze!! it made me SO happy!

This is at another castle that we went and walked in the gardens at. The grounds were so big and SO beautiful. we went there around sunset and there were just people running around in the garden. So awesome and lovely
