Monday, May 25th (Day 2)

I'm not sure when Monday officially started for us. We were flying over the Atlantic when it happened. We arrived in Munich at about 8am Central European time. We had two meals on the trip over. A chicken dinner shortly after takeoff and a bagel breakfast shortly before touchdown.

It took us a little while to get oriented at the airport. We made it into the country with no problem. No forms to fill out, or anything like that. We got some Euro cash, found the train system, and navigated our way to the hostel. The biggest glitch was when I forgot which hostel we had reserved. It was one of two and I lost the coin toss. So, we had to walk a few extra blocks after going to the wrong place.

After dropping off our things, we took a nice long afternoon walk around Munich. It is quite warm - it has to be in the eighties.

I took a good three hour nap after showering. After that I finally felt human again. I was pretty tired! We had a nice evening dinner in an outdoor beer garden and did some more walking around town. It's very cool and peaceful around town right now.

We met a man named Sebastian on the train. He was very friendly and gave us some tips about Munich. He is a computer instructor, so we had a few things to discuss in our very brief visit. We also met one hostel mate from Australia (and temporarily living in Canada). Laim is his name and he is very outgoing.
