Well, we missed our original train from Vienna to Munich. Really!? This was because we failed to realize we were leaving from a different station than where we arrived. No worries... 2 hours later another train came to bring us to lovely Munich! We were met at the train station by our friend Carsten, who we have known for a couple months. He lives in Munich and showed us how similar the U-bahn was to Berlin. After a quick train ride, we were able to drop our bags and find a local Bavarian restaurant and brewery. We sat at a huge wooden table with about 12 other people we didn’t know/could not speak to and ordered food we could not pronounce from women in traditional German attire. Amy had the special (a mix of all kinds of delicious things!), Mandi had the pork knuckle, and Krystal and roast duck. Sounds a little crazy, but we all shared these traditional meals, which were delicious. AND we found our pretzels and liter beers, ie brezeln and bier! After our delicious dinner we discovered that some toilet seats in Munich put on a show. While the gals went to the bathroom, Amy shouted that her seat would not stop moving! The seats rotate for cleaning, but Amy’s seemed to be on a mission to become clean and would not stop! After figuring this out, we ventured to the Hofbrauhaus for more bretzeln and liter beers! We learned the traditional Prost or “toast” song and enjoyed live Bavarian music. Yes lederhosen are hot. Carsten’s friends joined us and we had a great night learning about German culture.
