Entry from: Munich, Germany Entry Title: "To Munich and Gottingen" Entry: "So we woke up way to early but we managed to get the train reservations we needed. Only problem was that they charged us for making a reservation. That would not be bad if I hadn't spent over $500 a piece for these EURAIL tickets that I thought took care of all train expenses. Well we found out that it only covers your actual ticket and not the reservation. So if the train is full you don't get on, and since we really wanted to get out of Venice ASAP we paid the extra amount to get out of their quickly. We also figured out that we had paid for the reservation cost at earlier also but we hadn't noticed since they charged us for the EURAIL at the same time. Tricky, Tricky!!! The train ride was uneventful for the most part and I watched Borat on the way. Man is that movie funny...It's even better the second time. On our way to Munich we got into an argument over the amount of time in Munich since Andrea wanted to get there and she knows her parents and the Kettler family are waiting for us in Gottingen. I finally gave in since I had wanted to stay in Munich 1 night but seeing how unhappy she was I decided that we could quickly tour Munich in a few hours when we got there at 2:30pm and get on the last train to Gottingen at 6:00pm. Munich was a lot of fun. Our first task was to find a good place to have some German Sausage. We found a very German looking restaurant and figured they'd have what we were looking for. Sure enough they had a sausage platter and some beer that had won several awards. Andrea got the award winning beer which was good and I got a dark beer but the funny thing is that it wasn't a stout like guiness it was more like ginger ale with a hint of beer. It was really strange but quite good. I know understood why when they brought it to the table they assumed it was for Andrea since it is a "Girly man beer" so I am now a "Girly man"!!! When they finally brought the sausage I was severely disappointed since it tasted very similar to hot dogs. I had sausage with the rotary club before the spaghetti dinner and it was the best sausage of my life and I was expecting better in Germany but unfortunately it was not meant to be. I then headed to the bathroom and found out that the restaurant was actually divided into 2 separate parts, an expensive part with white table cloths and men in suits and a beerhouse with women in the traditional beer serving waitress garb. We had obviously with my luck chosen the expensive suit side which by the way had tons and tons of old people (I really mean ancient people because the average age was 5 years past death) and now it made sense. After lunch, we walked over to some tower and took pictures from the top that overlooked the whole city and we went to another Church named St. Peters that was pretty. Afterward we headed to Haughbrahaus which is the oldest beer brewery in Munich. On the way we passed a bar called "Havana Club: a Cuban Bar" and all we could think is "How do I find this stuff???" it always seems to be around. Cuba is very famous for being such a small island I think. Anyways we both ordered large beers since our waiter said he had no small beer left. Sound odd, yeah!!! But we drank them just the same. Each beer was a full liter and we were exploding with beer when we left. It was definitely very touristy and funny enough they had an Asian waiter that looked quite strange given everyone else serving but I guess that is equal opportunity for you. He did manage to carry 5, 1 liter beers so he was alright! We took a taxi back to the train station to make sure we got there on time...You know how Andrea is, and the taxi driver took us all around the city it felt. It had only taken us 20 minutes to walk and the taxi took over 10 minutes to get us back. It seemed odd but I couldn't argue, all I knew was that we passed a lot of streets I had not seen on the way. It was also raining at the time and we really did not want to walk. We picked up our bags which we had left in a locker at a train station (I LOVE LOCKERS!!!) and we waited for our train. The train ride was uneventful again but I did take a picture of our speed which was 250 km/hr which translates to about 160 miles since I once went that fast in the vette, but somehow in the security of the train and the lack of wind in my ..."
