Day 13

This morning we went to the train station to check with the Lost & Found, Tyler's wallet had not been found, but they said that it usually takes a few days. From there we met Tyler's parents to whom we relayed the bad news, and they will be loaning Tyler enough money to finish the trip.

Today we went with Tyler's parents to the Eagle's Nest, a retreat for Adolf Hitler back in the day. The bus ride up was very interesting with windy, narrow roads and steep inclines. Once up farther we enter a long bunker on foot and then go into a golden elevator that brings you 400 feet higher up the mountain. Outside, the views of the mountains and the surrounding area was great, similar but at the same time different than Gimmelwald.

After leaving the Eagle's Nest, we ate in a little town called Berchtesgaden. I had jagerscnhitzel (wiener scnhitzel with musroom sauce), and apple strudel for dessert. The food was excellent and the little town was very nice with lots of little stores with interesting merchandise.

No we didn't get to Dachau because it's closed on Mondays. We went to the Residenz instead.
