Munich 27th - 29th May

Time again for another mass update as I keep forgetting to let all of you out there know what I’ve been up to.

So let’s start with Munich. After dinner one evening we were discussing what to do and where to go at the weekend (as we usually travel around Hessen as its free on the weekends) and as a friend had some one over from the US we decided to go to Munich.
Booked our hostel, super cheap only about 23euro for 2 nights. And off we went the next day. We travelled on the slow trains as it is far cheaper so our journey took about 6 hours to get there. After checking into the hostel about 2pm we went for a bit of a wander around Munich, taking the mandatory tourist pictures and getting some food on the way. Were far to tired that evening to have a serious night out on the town so it was bed time about 10 for us.
Woke up the next morning and headed off out for our tour of Dachau. We went with the Sandeman tour group and for 12euro we got transport and our own guide, who was just so dedicated and passionate about. I won’t write much on Dachau, but let’s just say it’s an experience. And if you can go on this tour I would recommend it.
After getting back from there about 4.30pm we grabbed some food, headed back to our hostel to change and then out in the town for the evening. Spent the majority of our night in an Irish bar and would you of guessed it!? Met English people, they were all pretty cool and we all had a good night. One of the girls I was with ended our night running through the main fountain in Munich with 2 of them, soaked but hilarious.
After waking up feeling a little delicate the next morning we met up with a few people from the night before grabbed some brunch and went off on the Sandeman’s free walking tour of Munich. Again I so recommend these tours, the guides are fun and know so much.
For the rest of our time in Munich we spent it killing time in bars until our 9 hour train journey at 2am! Slow trains and Scöneswochenende tickets are great but take forever especially on a Sunday.
