Rome to Munich

Well Contiki was now finished and can I just say what a trip. The best way to summarise it is to say... it is not a holiday, it is full on and you see a lot, but not always in detail... I really enjoyed the trip, but was glad to be having a break from the 6am rises and little sleep due to travel arrangements... I was also happy to say goodbye to the bus which I had spent a lot of hours on over the past 12 days... Contiki was however value for money and exceed my expectations though this was also due to the extensive knowledge of our tour guide and the effort she put into explaining the regions, cities, people and history of the places we visited.... with another guide the same experience I don’t think would have been had. The bus driver Leno was amazing as well... I have never seen such a skilled driver... he was truely unbelievable... mmmmm So now it was off to Munich... I left the hotel at 8 and was in Basel by 1:30.... I then had to wait a couple of hours till my flight to Munich, though in doing so I was saving money so I was not concerned. I arrived in Munich on Thursday night at about 8:40pm. I cannot tell you how nice it has been to take it easy over the past few days and not have to constantly be following a tour timetable... Munich is a great city. I have been window shopping (want to try and come back with some money in the bank hehehe) and have been to the Olympic Park as well as the main church here. I have been enjoying some great meals at the cafes in the area here and am just enjoying relaxing after the Contiki trip. I have even been able to finish my John Grisham Book and start another John Grisham that Dominik had here.....hehehe... I think that is the update for now...Tomorrow I head to England and start the last leg of my trip... I never realised but looking back 5 weeks is quite a long time and I have really enjoyed having the time out from everything in Brissy for a while (thanks to pa and his encouragement I am really glad I came)... seeing everyone in Germany has been great as well... I suspect however as soon as I am back there will be more Germans dropping by so I am excited about that...
