Upon our arrival, we figured out how to take a bus to the general vicinity of our campground. It turns out that the advertised bike ride from the site was 10 minutes to the bus stop, not to the city. So we walked for about 30 minutes from the bus. We also saw a man walking a cow as if this were totally normal on a busy street.
We were greeted by three older women smoking cigarettes and a plump, shirtless man who appeared to be sunbathing. This greeting consisted of them bossing us around and telling us to wait 3 hours for Maurizio, our supposed host, to come back. They showed us the bathroom, which consisted of a curtain and a toilet. The provided sleeping bag was actually a very dirty quilt, and we are convinced that the tent was non-existant. They also asked for our passport numbers and other personal information, and became agitated when we refused to write this down and told them we were leaving instead. So we walked back to the bus stop with absolutely no idea where the day would take us.
At the bus stop, the first bus blew right past us. So we waited for another 15 minutes while laughing at how unfortunate we have been on this trip.
Once we made it back to the train station, we decided to take an overnight train to Munich since we had nowhere to sleep anyway. We slept on little bunk beds in a compartment of six. At the German train station, Rachel got her first bratwurst for a light breakfast.
We had 14 minutes of free internet access, so we decided to book a hostel in Lucerne, Switzerland. Luckily our Eurail pass allows us to jump on any train we like, so we got one to take us there right away.
We are now staying in a Japanese hostel in Lucerne for the night, and moving on to Interlaken tomorrow!
