Nh Hotel Munchen-Airport Munich

... so nasty from drinking and the water almost felt like it was cleansing us. After an hour or so of wading around, we went back up to the room and ALL passed out. We woke up around 9ish, still a little inebriated and knew that it was time to get dinner. We were all feeling fine up until this point because we were all intoxicated through pretty much every event of the day. We decided to go downtown in Munich in order to see some other things besides ...

... the gate and decided where to eat afterwards. This castle was the home of King Maximilian II, the father of later King Ludwig II who built Neuschwanstein on a hill above it, where he could easily survey the work on his new castle.

The interior was beautiful, with fine woodwork and walls covered in murals of the time. We couldn't take pictures inside either castle, so we both bought the same guide book that Jen Davies had loaned me ...

A little closer and we saw it was about 15 hunters surrounding a brush pile, carrying weapons. There were dogs, and men poking around in the brush.

After five days in Munich, I couldnt handle much more but what I did experience changed my life for the better. Now off to Berlin to recover my strenght and head down the back stretch of my trip.

Our long flight from Atlanta to Munich came to a close in the bitter cold of an early morning. It is funny what a flight like that does to your body. Once more, I had convinced myself that sleep IS possible within the confines of at 18" x 24" economy seat, and once more I found myself disappointed, and left tired. Dylan seemed to be the only ...

Yeap, here we are, "when in Rome..." For Germany this means HOFBRAHAUS!! Zip your mouth to anything but beer (except perhaps some pretzels if your teeth can take it, or if your teeth are out to get the pretzel girl...!)and don't hesitate to sing along! Hope you do better than me....
