2017 Germany Trip #5 - April 6th

Today we have set out on our way to Munich. Easier said that done.While the morning packing and leaving the house went very smoothly, our plans were interrupted by a major mistake on the way to the Main Train Station. We took the tram and had to stamp our tickets on the way in. Forgetting to do that before sitting down, we had no chance to act before suddenly ticket control people went in right behind us. And BAM no excuses or explanations were listened to and we were written a 60 Euro fine EACH! Well that throws our budget out the window…Oh well, after that behind us, we bought ourselves some breakfast and boarded our ICE (German Speed Train) to Munich. Two and a half hours later we arrived at the Munich Main Station. While we were super lucky with the weather all the days even to the point of walking around in just T-Shirts outside, it was freezing today. Wearing 3 layers my hands were still getting numb – so our city centre touring consisted of regular shop visits to warm up.
Munich is visibly a very different city from Stuttgart, for some reason Geo and I had a feeling that it felt greyer. However, there are loads of pretty amazing sights that we have captured in our photographs. We also enjoyed a traditional German meal of half a pork knuckle and a hunter’s schnitzel.The day was nice and relaxing, just taking in the city with its sights and shops and getting the feel for the surroundings.
