Nh Muenchen-Neue Messe Munich

... is in German or Italian and no one speaks a word of English. The grocery checkout ladies always seem incredibly angry and act like they hate every single customer, and when you don't speak their language they treat you like you're the biggest jerk ever! They are very hostile! So even normally buying groceries is unpleasant. Today, the lady starts shaking the bag of apples at me! Apparently you're supposed to weigh fruits and such yourself and get the price at a ...

... make it. But the next bus back didn&#8217;t get to the train station until 5 minutes before the train left. We still needed to buy tickets, but even with the automatic ticket machines they have, we didn&#8217;t want to chance it. So we decided to call a taxi.<br><br>The taxi ride was fun. The driver was going fast and even passed another car on the road. And he got us there with a half an hour to spare. So we actually had time to walk around Fussen a little bit. And it was a ...

... we hung out at the Chinese Tower (the second largest beer garden in the world) and saw locals surfing the waves made by a dam in the river (video to come soon). The most interesting site was the inside of the church which had the most intricate stone detail I've ever seen. Next we are headed to Zurich, Switzerland to check out the Alps, etc.

... was very hilly! It was around 4km to get there and I was glad that I didn't wait around for the bus. <br><br>The beer at this place was so good! I figured I was a champ and ordered a masse of beer (1 liter) and I had a huge serving of pig knuckle and potato salad. The pig knuckle was delicious but I think it was meant for two people to share and there was a lot left wasted. But there was no way that I was going to waste that ...

... Marienplatz and saw the beginnings of a neo-Nazi demonstration protesting Liberation Day (which was today). The police were there and there were gates around 5-6 skin heads while the rest of the crowd yelled at them. The communist party was ...

... feels like Christmas!!! The town of Roßtal is just the kind of place I think of when I imagine a little German town. On the 22nd, I set out with the ICE Speedy Train to München to meet the parentals... But as fate would have it, I would not meet the parentals or Ryan on the 22nd, the scheduled day of arrival. I checked in the room with proof of ID and waited. And waited. I saw an incredibly incorrect cartoon about the Three Kings who visited baby ...

... recommend it to anyone travelling to their cities. That evening, we met for a different kind of tour... a pub crawl. Fittingly, the meeting point was across from the Hofbrauhaus, the world's oldest beer garden, although we didn't actually go there. We met up with some girls who had been on the tour earlier in the day, and we all had a really good night. This morning we woke up, slightly tired, and grabbed our free breakfast (this has now become a huge selling point ...

I arrived in Munich today with a mission. One - I was not going to see the sites and do a formal tour but rather walk the streets at random seeing what I could find. Secondly, to find a charging cord for my computer (it was flat as a tack) and get on top of my very out of date blog. I succeeded with both admirably! I am both foot sore and tired of computers, but with 8 hours on computers and an equivalent time touring the ...

... Munich. Our hotel had been changed and now we were staying way out in the sticks. Unfortunately on Contiki tours the hotels are not always in the middle of town. But alot of times the bus will take you where ou need to go. After settling into the hotel, which was actually pretty nice, we headed into town to get some dinner and go to a beer hall. Before dinner we walked around Marienplatz (the main square) and ...

Justy oversleeps. I don't look at the clock as I repack my suitcase because I'm waiting for his alarm to tell me it's time to go. My credit card is stuck in the ticket machine at Münchnerfreiheit. We have to go to the Hauptbahnhof. The S-bahn train to the airport doesn't leave until 9:20. I am ...
