The last full day that I was in Germany was a nice and relaxing one with my suitemate. I had done the tourist tour around the city of Munster, seen how it had been reconstructed after World War Two, and walked around a few of the city markets. I even had seen one of the few astronomical clocks that are left in the world!
We woke up around 10am to bike the fifteen minute ride to a little restaurant that served amazing brunch on Sundays. After experiencing the Germany nightlife I definitely was looking forward to some great food and a change of pace. At the brunch I was presented with a variety of options. There were so many rolls, I mean bagels without holes, to choose from, cheeses, and meats. There were smoked salmon, mushroom soup, and eggs. We met up with some of my suitemate’s friends, so I was able to learn about their universities and how their school system works.
We biked along the city’s promenade and eventually were lead to a castle. It turned out that this castle was part of the city’s university! It is called the The Schloss and was constructed in the years of 1767 and 1787 for the Prince Bishops to live in. It is now a the home of the main building of the university. It is not currently open for tours because it is meant to beA strictly for classroom and administrative purposes. However, a huge flea market is held in front of the place about four times in a year. It was gorgeous!
To make my journey in Germany complete, my suitemate insisted that I swim in the GermanA canals. At first I was a little skeptical because the water had a green tint to it, but after heading down to the popular hangout spot by the canal, I realized that it really was “the thing to do” and the “place to be” during the summer months.
Jumping into the canal I thought about how the last few days in Germany had flown by and how excited I was to get on the train to Eindhoven, the Netherlands, the next day.
