In order to make up for Nick having to go the the Steiff Museum I found that in the same area they had a cave named, in English, Charlotte's Cave. It is one of the most famous show caves due to it being one of the longest accessible caves in Southern Germany. It is 587 metres and was formed around two and a half to three million years ago by a great underground river. They even found bones from the Ice-Age.
It was a cold, dark, and dank place that was absolutely beautiful. I had never been in a cave myself so I made sure to really take it all in. There were winding paths and narrow corridors to walk through, and as our German speaking tour guide made a note, "don't be like fat Americans." If you are of any large size, this may not be a place to go, that and if you are chlosterphobic! Of course I did not understand anything the tour guide was saying because it was all in German but I didn't care; I mean I was in a cave, that is awesome! Much of the things in the cave looked like poop, thanks to Nick's translation of the tour guide; you can see that in our pictures.
Nick even managed to scare a little boy by making that whistling sound of a cold and breezy night. Considering I do not know German, I knew the boy was referring to Nick when he turned around to his mother freaking out and her turning back to us. Poor kid. It was not intentional, but very funny.
