steins, clouds, rain, no castles and steam

munich eh

i liked berlin more. but i think when travelling by oneself you do seem to judge places by the people you meet and how much you liked them. so in munich i had a high turn over of people that i spoke too...

at least, the hostel was easy to find, literally across the road from the main station, and surrounded by kebab and schnitzel shops, which i took full advantage of (twice daily) seeing as i didn't eat whilst being in dresden.

hostel was pretty funky, they had this outside garden which was indoors, which hammocks, been bags and stuff like that.. although my room was like the senior citizens room, which makes it really hard to meet people, but i went to the bar and used those social skills i've been perfecting and had a good first night.. did another of those free walking tours the next day after averging a rough 3 hours sleep. was good, they're a really good way of seeing a city, you meet people and see all the main sights, get your bearing so you can explore yourself.

wanted to see the castles the next day but alas raining, so i did nothing, and the next day rain again! so i missed out on seeing the famous fairytale dwellings.. it's not worth going for 30 euros if you are cold, wet and can't see anything, just to say that you went.. i probably should have gone out to dachau but i just really wasn't in the mood for something incredibly heavy. enough of that in berlin.. next time..

did a beer tour, which takes you to the famous beer halls, and you drink loads of beer, was pretty good, met people that i hung out with the next day and night so that's okay.. it's funny how when you travel 85% of people you hang out with are australian.. the other 10% are canadian, and the other 5% is filled with french, spanish, and the occasional cool american kid.

well that was munich.. in prague now... more on that later after i have some actual news.. flying to venice on thursday and hanging out with scott! from home! someone from home! i'm really excited.
