Munich Day 1 (Trevor)

We left Salzburg for Munich on Thursday morning, we wanted to spend 3 full days in Munich because there is lots to do. So we got to the train around 930 and arrived in Munich around 1130. There was a free walking tour leaving at 1 so we wanted to get there for that. So we walked to our hostel (in stead of trying to figure out the metro right away) and then made our way to Marienplatz, the center of the old town for our tour. These walking tours have been a great way to see the city and actually learn about the building as opposed to just seeing them. You just tip at the end, so if they suck then so does their tip, so far they have been great.

So we toured around Munich learning various things, my favorites was the stories about the main beer hall in town, because I like beer ... a lot.

After the tour we went to a place that served all you can eat stew, and it was delicious, we of course, washed it down with a beer.

Then we were a bunch a bums and decided to take a 2 hour nap. Still full from our stew, we didn't want dinner, but wanted some pub food, so mom looked up a place in her travel book and we headed out.

We got there and had to go up to the second floor, we could hear the accordian from he street and it only got louder. This place only had about 6 or 7 tables and a bar and it was jammed with people, except for a little table, just big enough for the three of us. We were right next to the accordian player, the place was so small that everyone was really next to him. He was blaring away something in German and occasionlly snorting like a pig and yodeling , so we had no idea, but everyone was lauging and singing along, it was awesome. Mom ordered us some food, and the German waitress said soemthing to her friends and hey all lauged at us. We had sauseges and a large salad (we were thankful for vegtables, we hadn't seen them in a while). There was also a very drunk guy, accross from us, who kept feeling the need to talk to us, even though we were completly clueless. He was also pulling random ladies up to polka on the dance floor (not really a designated area, just a 2 by 3 foot gap in front of the accordian player), amber and I were secretly hoping he would drag mom up, we even tried to get his attention for him to try. We then had some amazing apple strudell and then called it a night. We can definatly say we experienced a Authentic German Pub.

first I heard about trying to get the drunk guy to ask me to dance, he was all hands that I could see. It truly was one of the neatest places we saw.
