Holiday Day 4: Train to Munich



Up at 6am to catch an early train. Whilst doing the last bit of packing discovers a hole in the top pocket on my backpack, so transferred the stuff to my day pack. Then when I picked my day pack up managed to stab myself in the hand the scissors from the first aid kit. My day pack now looks like a proper adventurers with a few blood stains on it!

Tim fed us breakfast then headed to the station and said our goodbyes before catching the train to Fischbach, where we changed to the train for Ulm. Uneventful journey to Ulm, where we had slightly longer to change trains due to the train t Munich being late.

Arrived in Munich by 10.30am and put our baggage in a locker at the train station before going for a walk through the city centre. Stopped to look in a toy shop, which had some very nice cuddly toys, including swans. We also had a look in some of the sports shops before deciding it was time for lunch at Hofbrauhaus. Skies were cloudy so after lunch we just had a quick walk around the viktulimark. Stopped for a drink at a very small bar called Le Clou, which has a motorbike as part of the decoration, I think it would look better with a large teddy bear riding it. Went for a drink in Augustiner Am Dom before picking up the baggage and going to the hotel to check in.

We are staying at a hotel in Munich have used before, but booked it through a different website so it hadn't come up on their system that what stayed before and when they realised this we got an apology for not getting a free room upgrade and told in future to let them know and they would make sure we did.

After settling in had a snooze to recover from the early start. Later on we headed out to a beer hall / restaurant for dinner, Andrew went for schweinhaxe again, whilst I had a Bavarian cordon blue, which is pork stuffed with ham, local cheese and red onion. It was very delicious but decided to have a quiet night and headed back to the hotel.
