The Last Shabang!

For our last weekend, four of us guys decided to take one last adventure before our trip came to an end. One of the things on all of our bucket lists was to feel the need for speed on the famous autobahn. So mom's this is where you probably should stop reading. 

We rented this beamer and went for a cruise down to the alps. I think our top speed was 140 miles per hour, at which point I think I pooped a little. 

It was freaking awesome. 

And completely legal. (And I am convinced that this is the way it should be everywhere.)

Anyways we got down to a place called Garmisch-Partenkirchen. 

We decided to do a gorge hike in the mountains for most of the day. It was unbelievable. They had built this catwalk into the side of this cavern in the mountain. We basically followed a waterfall up this mountain with these huge mountain walls on either side of us. My buddy johnny brought his gopro camera with a waterproof casing so we got to get some pictures amidst the spray. 

The picture quality isn't the best, but it was truly one of the most beautiful places that we have been so far. 

The further up we went, the wetter it got. There was watering spraying up from the waterfall below and off of the walls of the gorge as well. 

That night after we got dry, we found a sweet place to set up our tent and look out over the alps as the day ended. After a packed night with four guys in a three man tent, we got up to check out some other famous spots before heading home. 

We went to a place called Fussen. It is the place with the famous castle in the mountains that the disney castle is based off of. The hike up to the castle was epic, with some really steep waterfalls and amazing views. 

This was the view out over Fussen. Unbelievable! 

We finally made it up to a bridge that hangs high above a waterfall in the mountains, and overlooks the  Neuschwanstein Castle. This castle was built by Ludwig II in the 19th century. It was a ridiculous view. 

After finishing up at the castle, we got back in the car and raced back north to get home in time. It was truly an awesome adventure and a wonderful way to wrap up this trip to Europe. 

Unfortunately this is the end of my blogging adventures. Tomorrow we head home, and that will be the end of the Moody Europe Trip 2012. Thankyou so much to all of those who made this trip a possibility for me. I cannot express how meaningful and impactful this experience has been. Life is short, and opportunities like this are few. I am glad that I was able to share this experience with all of you. Thanks for following the madness. 

Glory to God,
