Jane Williams - The Wombling World of Madness
| Sep. 2nd, 2014 08:36 pm 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.

Slept
in for a bit this morning, then finished updating the holiday journal.
Once we were all awake, some people took longer than others, we went to
the local bakery for breakfast.
Tim was driving today and leaving the shores of Bodensee behind we headed up along a twisting narrow road to Scheidigg. Here we headed for the sky walk, a series of suspended walkways through the trees, with a viewing tower in the middle. Unfortunately the weather was a little bit on the cloudy side, but you could still see the lake. Then the wooden walkways began to become more challenging, consisting of netting and suspended silver discs and balance beams to try to get across. The next challenge was a rope to walk across fixed to the netting. At this point the two chaps abandoned me, saying they would meet me at the end, leaving me to continue across the nets and balance challenges on my own. Once reaching the end there was a slide down to the bottom.
We then had a short walk on the ground through the forest, finding various things on the way including a catapult. However, it started to rain so we headed to the cafe for coffee and cake.
Our next stop was at the local waterfall, here as well as a very nice waterfall there was a small water wheel powered round about. We then headed back towards the lake and went to Austria and a place called Lolku, where we had a short walk along the front, and saw a dog been taken for a "walk" in a plastic crate on wheels attached to a bicycle.
By now we were starting to feel a little hungry so headed back to Lindau where we met Stephan, and much to Andrew's delight found somewhere serving Schweinhaxe, although it came with Spatzle and salad rather than the more traditional dumpling. The Spatzle (a sort of potato pasta) here is less thick and more spaghetti like than the Spatzle you get in Tirol.
Lindau is on a sort of Island, although connected by road and rail to the mainland. After dinner we had a walk around the Island. The sun had at blas started to come out and we were treated to some fantastic views across the lake as the sun began to go down, unfortunately I had left the camera in the car. There was a relaxing feeling of peace and quiet around the place.
We then headed back to Fischbach and after parking the car at home, went to a little local bar for a drink before bed. The bar had an old fashioned looking brick and wood interior an behind the bar was a little old lady with rosy cheeks and a blue checked apron, you could almost think you had walked into a storybook. We had a couple of very reasonably priced beers before heading back to pack up and get to bed early, ready for an early start in the morning.
