Day Zwei

 So after drinking a lot of beers last night, I thought we'd wake up a little hungover, but nahh, we were all good to go.  We started our day by going to Yarma's at the Hauptbahnhoff (Train Station), and getting some drinks and some food at a nearby stand. Props to David, Jeremy, and Julian for having a beer and a brat for breakfast.   Then we got on the tram to Schloss Nymphenburg. We explored the gardens and pretty much walked around the whole backside.
We were lucky to complete this before the rain started.  Then after it started raining, we walked to Hirschgarten.  The biggest beer garden in Munich.  We had some delicious sausages/sauerkraut.


Then after that, we decided we were going to eat lunch at the Viktualienmarkt, but when we got there, it was closed.  The Germans are scared of the rain.    So after that, we decided to go up the tower of St. Peters church, to get the best views of Munich.  


Then it was getting near lunch time, so it was time to go to the Hofbrauhaus.  We sat with these awesome German people, Hans and Marie from Hannover.  Enjoyed our Beer, Bretzns, and Wienerschnitzel with them.



We were pretty drunk then, so we had to drop Jeremy and Julian off at the Hostel to rest and relax.  David and I then went to Theresienwiese, where the Oktoberfest is hailed.  It's pretty massive, and neat to see empty.  We visited the Statue of Bavaria, and walked around the hall of famous Munich's busts.

 After that, it was time go get some dinner.  I wanted to go to Paulaner Keller, since the Brauhaus is closed for renovations, but the tram that takes you there was out of commission, so we had to pass.  We instead went to Loewenbrau. It was pretty cool there, I enjoyed my burger once again.  While everybody else got some sort of sausage sampler dish.  After that, we headed to our hostel for a nightcap, and met up with our friend Hans.  He had to tell us that you drink Jaegermeister after a meal, and not as a shot.  But we enjoyed some radlers, lemonade/vodka, and other drinks with him.   Munich has been really chill, it's just a bust that everything has been closed.  So I can't wait to get to Rome tomorrow.

Auf Wiedersehen.
