Well it was one of those weekends again where the Pats decided to head off and make the most of having Europe on our doorstep. And to make things even better we had our great friends in Munich to entertain us. Steve, Hannah, and Emily left London earlier this year and moved to Munich so this was the first time we had seen them in just over 6 months. It meant another earlier morning start on Saturday but we are use to these now and with the flight being only 90 minutes, before long we were in Germany on a beautiful crisp autumn day. Saturday was lovely just chilling out with the Hart;'s and having a big catch up. The boys being the athletic ones decided to go for a beautiful bike ride through town while ... read more

so we are leaving munich this morning. i tried to figure out how to add pictures but i couldnt and we catch the train in a little bit so i dont have time. i will read up on the how to on the train so pics should be coming soon. yesterday in munich was fun. we went to dachau concentraion camp. it was the first concentration camp used by the nazis and was originally opened in 1933.

so we travelled all day yesterday. we left amsterdam at 10am and arrived in munich at about 6pm. the train ride was kinda cool. i like that mode of travel. it was only my first time so i will probably grow tired of it, but you dont have to drive and the train travels quickly. amsterdam sucked compared to munich. amsterdam was so dirty and there wasnt a whole lot to do other than a couple of museums, the red light district and drugs. so i was glad to get to munich. we found a really nice and cheap hostel across the street from the tain station. there are 3 in a row and they all have happy hour from 6-9p so we drank a lot of beer last night. then we went for a walk ... read more

Pickled Fish for Breakfast Up early again (6:00am), quick shower, dress, pack, and downstairs for the complementry breakfast. And what a breakfast! All manner of cold sliced meats & cheese, a selection of cereals & juice, and (now I know that I'm in Germany) pickled herrings! Kate looked over her toast & nuttela with distain at my plate of manufactured meat, cheese, & pickled fish! When in Rome I say... Fast Train to Munich We go straight to the station and ask for the next fast (250 km/h) train to Munchen (Munich) and were told to go to platform 8 at 8:50. Change trains at Manheim. Too easy! On the train and we eventually decode the First Class/ Second Class, Smoking/Non-smoking (the Germans LOVE to smoke!). Much to Kate's excitement work out that we have 1st ... read more
