Saved By The Beer

My time in Munich centered on beer. Let's be honest, it really shouldn’t be any other way. The only thing I didn’t venture to was beer for breakfast but that doesn’t mean I would’ve been opposed to the idea. The night I first arrived was probably the only exception to my beer-only rule. My friend Stefanie, who I met on a …

Another Pit Stop

Since we did Munich before, ambulance and all, we knew that when we got to Munich this time we had to make the most of it. It is after all in my top 3 of places I have been!! As soon as we arrive, Bern, our new friend Rudiger and I all head out for some German grub. We were aiming for port knuckles, so went out to this restaurant of …

The Wedding

Believe it or not, there's one thing that takes precedence over the World Cup in Europe. Women trump the men when it comes to royal weddings. The Swedish wedding of the king's oldest daughter to personal fitness trainer (i.e., a commoner) was a big deal. Dietmar's mother and sister could not stop talking about it and would shush everyone in the …

Learning German

I had my first horrible experience with learning German last week. My school arranged for a German teacher to come in once a week for an hour in the morning to help me and one other girl learn German. Last Wednesday, we had our lesson and I mentioned to her that I needed help making an appointment at a dermatologists office. So, we practiced making …

Oktoberfest Day 2

Today was my second day in Munich and the weather was awesome. I have really lucked out in London and now Munich for the weather. Woke up at around 9am for a hot breakfast. The breakfast consisted of eggs and bacon as well as cold cereal. After breakfast the contiki group had an excursion planned to Dachau. This was the first concentration camp …

Paris-Munich night train and Munich

After killing more time in Paris and in the station I got on my night train. It was fine, just a standard couchette compartment, which I was sharing with a mother and her two sons. I slept pretty well. I then had a few hours to kill in Munich train station, which had a lovely quiet big waiting room on the first floor looking out over the concourse …

Prague, Czech Republic to Munich, Germany

Travel day to Germany! We hit the autobahn and people were just flying past us. Unfortunately our bus was regulated so we couldn't join the rest in their warp speed traveling. We arrived in Munich (Munchen) in the late afternoon. The drivers were crazy there. I would be so scared to drive there. We got dropped off at the Marienplatz, a huge square …

The Yin and Yang of Munich

It was a rainy gloomy day for a somber tour of Dachau Concentration Camp. Dachau began as an SS training center to teach the SS how to run concentration camps. It was open for 13 years and at its peak it held 32,000 prisoners from many European countries, some were Nazi/Hitler resisters and some were there for slave labor. We walked in thru the …

Day 1 - Turistit

Herätys! Ensimmäinen virallinen reilipäivä alkaa. Eilen juotu olut vaikuttaa vielä voimakkaasti sekä veressä että hengityksessä. Tänään ainoa tavoite oli ehtiä hostellin järjestämään kävelyretkeen klo 11. Pääsimme jo yhdeksän aikoihin ylös, joten aikaa jäi runsaasti peseytymiseen ja aamiaiseen. Talosta sai aamiasen 3,5 euron maksua vastaan. Kä …

Day 5 part 1

Kids you won´t believe it. I actually get up, shower and have breakfast. Along the way I run into Jennifer again and we have breakfast together. She´s got a few more things to do than she´ll hit the museum. Off I go after Fruckstuck (breakfast in German). Damn this weather just won´t let up. It´s raining, raining, raining. My umbrella and I are …
