Munich and Frankfurt, Germany

After exploring the Alps, Austria and the Black forest, our goal was to make it to Munich and find a hotel that night. Because the trip was kinda unplanned, we had no reservations. It was easy to find the hotel in Triberg the night before - we walked in to the first one we saw and got 2 rooms....in Munich, a huge city, it proved to be a little more difficult!

We arrived in the evening around 8pm and couldn't find anything that looked remotely in our price range. 'Donna' only knew how to take us to the city centre and that was it, so it wasn't easy to get around. We went to McDonalds and used the internet there and some of us (mainly me) may have gotten a little cranky when finding a hotel wasn't as easy as we'd planned!

After a few hours of roaming around and a little cursing (mainly from the bus driver that Dylan cut off while pullling into a gas station - the bus driver pulled over and started screaming at him in German), we arrived at our hotel at about 10pm, had a well deserved beer (I was craving a drink) and some supper and crashed!

The next morning we explored Munich and my favorite part was having a few beers at the local joint and listening to the Oompah Band....it was classic! We went to the Residence museum in the city square which was impressive and walked around the city.

Although I was dying to try some weiner schnitzel and other German specialties, it didn't happen. I did have the option at one point, but once I found out what they were, I opted for a salad!

We left early afternoon and headed home....well, the direction towards Belgium. We drove and drove and drove and stopped in Frankfurt that evening for a late supper before arriving in Brussels about midnight!
