Back on the train, and again a nice journey through the country side, seeing brief glimpses of Linz and Salzburg brefore arriving at Munich. Checking in at the hostel before walking into town for a bite to eat, check out the Glockenspiel and making sure we had a bike tour organised to join for the day.
Only really had the next day to re-explore Munich as last time was a haze from Oktoberfest. So the bike tour gave us another good foothold in the city. Coolest thing was in the local river, they had set up an underwater ramp which made a wave the locals surfed on. It was pretty impressive. This tour went a tad longer then the one in Vienna due to the hour+ stop at a beer hall for some stiens. Natrually there were some young American college students doing a semester overseas and travelling first - so we managed to get the two of them into a drinking competition with the 1ltr stiens. ![]()
results varied, but the remainder of the bike tour was a bit of a write off. So we decided to do a pub crawl that night. I also managed to talk my two dorm buddies Faye and Haley into joining the pub crawl which stopped me waking them up early in the morning. The tour was pretty good, 15 for all your could drink for an hour with a number of shots throughout the night. We got a bit of the beer history and visited some major beer halls.
That pretty much wrapped up the quick 10 day trip, Marie continued on and is still travelling before heading back to Canada. And I am back to London and back to work!
