Spring Break Update

Well, everything was going great until I missed my stop in Carcassonne (Sunday morning) and ended up in Narbonne (about 30-45 minutes east of Carcassonne). I made it back to Carcassonne and reserved train tickets from Carcassonne to Pisa, but platform 1 and 2 were right next to each other and I took the train from platform 2, not 1. Instead of going east toward Pisa, I went west to Toulouse and there was no way to get to Pisa that night or anywhere else for that matter, except Paris. However I wasn't able to get a connection to Munich (where I already had my hostel booked) until Tuesday morning. So, I waited for 10 hours in the Toulouse train station, took the night train back to Paris, paid $135 for a hotel (because all the hostels were booked) and took a train to Munich this morning. Now all is good and I can take the regional trains without making reservations (or worrying about them being all booked up). The only other change to the plan so far is I'm going to Dachau Concentration Camp in the morning so I could have more time there. I attempted to go to the Neuschanstein Castle tonight, but I was given the wrong info from one of the train attendants. He told me to take the train at 4:51pm and it was direct to Füssen (city where the castle is), but I ended up in Kempten (1.5 hrs by train from Füssen). Apparently "direct" actually meant change to a different train in Kaufbeuren. Oh well, I got a nice ride anyway. With all the train confusion I guess I forgot to mention something about the weather. Well, since I’m a lot further south than Norway I thought it was going to warm...at least 60 degrees…because the weather forecasts looked promising before I left. However, it’s been snowing, just a little though, not enough to anything major, but enough to make me wear 4 sweatshirts earlier today. Everything should go as planned from here on out (provided I take the right trains).
