Walking the Streets of München

I just got a much needed shower in my hostel in Munich, A&O City Hostel. Best water pressure and temperature yet! It appears to be a renovated hotel, so the rooms are quite quaint and roomy. All for only 11 euro.

I spent the day with Scuffy and Silvi roaming the streets. I made an early request to avoid as many tourists as possible, because I was still burnt out on tourists from Prague. We had a delicious lunch with live music included. We saw a couple tourists sites and then headed for the English Garden. An amazing place for the size city it is in! There was actually surfers on a portion of the river. We plopped down next to the river to take some time to relax. Ate a bag of Haribo gummy bears. I consumed my first Bavarian beer and pretzel. We also snuck in some ice cream in there too. Overall, a stellar day.

Tomorrow morning, I am heading out to Freiburg, which is nestled in the Black Forest of southwestern Germany. I plan to do some hiking and taking in the sights of the small university town. Thanks to my new friend Bernhard, he hooked me up with a friend in Freiburg to stay with.

You should hear from me next from the Black Forest. I just finished a roll of film today. More pictures soon.

The Englisch Garten is quite beautiful isn't it? Did you walk up to the overlook?
