Holiday Inn South Munich

... 8230; and giant beer tents. 830 we were in the tent, and all the "permanent" tables were already taken. We got tables in a different area but could only stay there until 12, which turned into 11, which turned into more like 1030. The first beer was served at 9am, and I think I can safely say that is the earliest I have ever started drinking (although it was 1am in Canada). Everyone knew it would be a long day, so ...

Our arrival in munich with the realization i had left the electrical converter in rothenburg was disastrous according to the teenager. Knowing i was never going to hear the end of it i decided we had better find another, which i didnt think would be possible on a sunday after 5pm, but we went searching. Munich was alive, it was their 851st birthday and so a celebration was called for. The shops were also open and with some ...

... main train station of Heidelberg. My train left in the afternoon for Frankfurt where my tour ended. I then took a taxy to my hotel seeing how i was exhausted like non other.

Had another McDonalds breakfast- for all my slagging off of Americanisation I am more responsible than most for it.- Wandered around- went on a free walking tour which went to a beer garden as a halfway point- saw a cool drunk black guy declaring himself Jesus and pointing at a girl in the tour group and yelling ...

... from New York All Week For most of the days I was at the hostel, there was a man from New York who seemed very out of place for a hostel environment. The man seemed to be very concerned about his room and his belongings and was trying toget all he could out of the hostel staff. He brought up issues about the one-key-per-room and him wanting to check out at 0500. The hostel staff kindly gave the gentleman straight-forward answers. While I respect the man's ...

... He began the tour in perfect English. For the next hour (EUR 4 per person), he walked us all over town and told us the history of the town, described his job as night watchman, and in general, entertained us with his high energy and sharp sense of humor. It was an amazing tour and Rothenburg at night is beautiful.
