Munich and the One reason it's great.

So let me just set the scene for you. It was 91 degrees, humid and with no AC when I was packing for this trip. So imagine my dismay when we arrived in Munich to find 55 degree highs and pouring rain. Fairly unpleasant to say the least. 

After our last day in Bled which was spent relaxing and walking around before watching the Brazil vs. Germany game with some routy Irishmen in the hostel. Yay Germany! (Now only to decide which city to spend the World Cup in!)

Drunk Irishmen during a football match is fun. Drunk Irishmen waking you up when you only have 5 hours to sleep is not. 

We woke bright and early (5:45am) to head back to Ljubljana where we caught a bus to munich. Maria and I slept the entire bus ride so so much for seeing some of Austria. I'm sure it was lovely. 

We arrived in munich, Maria mastered the public transportation system and we made our way to our hostel and settled into our 33 bed dorm...yeah. 

Cosy right? 

In spite of the weather we headed downtown and watched the world famous glockenspiel which, unless you have my moms bizarre fondness for moving clocks is probably a bit of a disappointment. 

Our next destination was h&m. Again, our favorite tourist destination this far. With some warmer clothes (I should also mention I felt crazy European in my new outfit) we walked around, ate some delicious soup and to bring in our first night in munich properly headed to the world famous beer hall hofbrauhaus. 

The second day in munich was ever so slightly warmer but more eventful. We loved our 3 hour free walking tour. This is where we learned that out guide would ask us questions and 90% of the time the answer would be beer. Our guide was awesome. Then we explored the outdoor market before finding a cafe with three requirements: cheap coffee, a bathroom, and wifi. The three essentials in life really. 

Then it was off to the BMW Welt where we saw some fancy and expensive cars and probably used the cleanest and nicest bathroom I've used this entire trip. 

I don't even like cars all that much but I was pretty excited to sit in those cars knt gonna lie. 

And now, following the lead of our tour guide we ask, why, in spite of the weather is munich great? The answer of course is beer. 

This is us at a different beer hall. (Unfortunately beer gardens though lovely are off our itinerary because of the fact that it's freezing. But no matter the weather it's always time for a beer the size of your head. Here we are drinking the former popes favorite brew at Augustiner!
