We laughed until we cried...literally

Germany and part of Switzerland

After an AMAZING time in Salzburg (my favorite city after Sevilla) we headed to Germany. We arrived in Munich in the morning to find it raining. :( We walked around the cute little city for a while then went to a little cafe for some coffee. Now, we are spoiled Spanish folk so we definitely didn't get what we were expecting. We did get "coffee" but it tasted funny and cost 5 euros. Oh well. We adventured around some more before we decided the rain was telling us to hop on the next train. The highlight of this day was BY FAR the curry wurst we had at the train station. INCREDIBLE does not even describe it. Those German peeps know how to eat.

Another train, another city. We arrived in Zurich just to catch the train to Geneva where we planned to stay the night. This is where the train adventures began. Let's just say that Sarah and I had hit a point of delirium from lack of sleep and too many trains. Not a bad delirium but one that makes you act kind of crazy. We were "fighting" over my fear of Sudoku, discussing the German use of K, dictating German cartoons, and describing cows in helicopters (because happy cows come from Switzerland). We've been living in an environment where 90% of the population doesn't understand us when we speak English and we've become accustomed to this. All this time that we are going off on these little tangents there is a lady in front of us who we assume doesn't understand a word we are saying. About an hour into the trip the conductor of the train comes on the loud speaker and says something in German. Of course we have no idea what he said. This little lady politely interrupts and asks us in English where we are going. We reply Geneva and she tells us that this train is not going to continue on. We follow her around like little lost puppies as she helps us find a connecting train. When we try to get off too early she states "no, you stay". Without the help of that extremely nice lady we might still be sitting in that train wondering what the crack was going on. On the last train to Geneva that night we finally realized that the lady had understood us the whole time!! We started to remember all the ridiculous things we had said and started laughing hysterically. We laughed until we cried.

more to come :)
