Parkresidenz Rottach-Egern

... well as a crystal on display that is larger than my head. The exhibits in each room vary considerably. In this case I think the pictures describe the museum much better than I can. Once at the end of the museum rooms, the visitor must pass through the showroom and store before leaving the facility. Mom and I had a lot of fun in the store and the men waited patiently for us to decide on ...

... In the Restaurant, which is quite funny. It´s a play about a movie being made, set in a restaurant. The man and woman come in, order some food and drinks and the woman dies from eating the soup. The director cuts in and tells the actors to do it all again, each time a little differently, faster, slower, funnier, or in our case, Hip Hop. During the weekend we all went into Munich, I stayed at Katie´s place and was able to check my email and eat Doner Kebabs.

... a couple of people I'd met at The Tent, Jerry and Trisha. You can see them in the photos here. Jerry is from Sydney, and from my accent he thought I was English. I was very insulted. So, we headed off to the Hofbrau House (one of the many beer halls) for a couple of steins. It goes without saying that we ended up at a table full of Australians singing vaguely familiar German songs. No "99 Luft Balloons", though. You'd think ...

... the number of Antipodeans arriving. We went through first and then Spencer and Christine. Hold on they are asking Spencer questions. They tell him that he must have a VISA to get in. Grinning Spencer pulls out the Mastercard and hands it over. The border police are not happy. They are gagging to get out to Oktoberfest and haven't had a beer since lunchtime (it is 1pm). Spencer pleads with them in his best German, "please sir, vil you please let me in, I like Germany - it ...

... re not paying attention. So pay attention, pedestrians in Munich! Life can change a lot if you get hit by an accidental kamikaze bike rider. I managed to make it to the Old Town and stopped in front of a quartet playing classical music. There was a violin, cello, and two accordions, all of which were virtuosos, playing Rossini, Bach, and Vivaldi. Beautiful. I was swept up in the music until a woman walked up next to me with her husband and started talking in heavily-accented English ...

... went nuts. Im going to Stuttgart tomorrow, which should be great fun, staying at a place set up for the world cup, Fan Camp, for 1000 people, its going to be a lot of fun especially if we win. Hopefully, I will be able to scalp tickets for that game, and hope Australia wins or draws. I thinI might cancel all of my current plans and follow the Aussies around Germany! Go Aussie! Mal

I can't really fully express the joy I get from day trips to Munich. Our favorite city in the world produces top tier day trips, so we decided to treat ourselves to one. The treat came at an expense as Bob unwittingly promised Suzie a BBQ with her friends that would have to be blown off for the trip to the Beercity. Suzie was ******, but at that point so was Bob...the drunken kind. After procuring world cup tickets at Munich's gorgeous ...

... and a huge tv screen to watch the World Cup. We arrived during an England game, so thousands of drunk English hooligans were there cheering on their nation. The night ended with a trip to Hofbrauhaus, a huge beer house in the center of Munich where Hitler once gave speeches to the Bavarian people. The house was full of American, British and Australian soccer fans who also got into many fights, but just simply had a great time ...

... the trip & we will update it as soon as we know. Please don't call us about that, we will upload it as soon as we know. TBC am: This morning meet your tour leader in the lobby of your hostel. We will be taking the Aussie Express charter train to Munich in what will no doubt be a sensational experience. We travel through southern Germany to the Bavarian captial Munich. After settling into our accommodation we prepare for our "Adopt-a-Team" theme day. We don't expect ...

Hello everyone! Munich has been treating us well. We met some kids in our hostel and have been hanging out with them a lot. They left today, but they are actually going to be in Pamplona for the running of the bulls, so we'll have some friends while we're there. The Hofbrauhaus was great. We went with our friends from the hostel, and they met up with some kids they had met on their bike tour that day, so we had some ppl to hang out with, which is definately a plus there. The ...
