We made it to Germany! We arrived in Munich around 9:30 AM, exhausted from a long flight. We took the city transportation to central station and walked to our hotel from there. It was drizzling on us on the walk so we were worried our first day wouldn't be great. We had some time for showers and a quick power nap before our Munich city bike tour, and by that time it had turned into a gorgeous day! Phew! Some of the highlights of the bus tour include: the Marienplatz, the Theatinerkirche (a gorgeous church on the inside, with a less impressive yellow outside), the lions adjacent the Theatinerkirche (on the statue is a smaller lion head you are supposed to rub for happiness... But never all 4 because that is a sign you are greedy), the Englischer Garten (a park bigger than Central Park with 3 beer gardens also in it. We visited the Chinese beer garden on the tour for dinner, drinks, music, etc.), watching the surfers surfing the 24/7 wave caused by the bridge in the lake, and last but not least, the ever-famous Hofbräuhaus! Here are some pictures from our bike ride around Munich:
After our bike tour I wanted Kyle to experience the joys of the Hofbräuhaus, so we went there for a bit of fun. That turned into waaaay too much fun, however, ha! We met a bunch of people, but 2 guys in particular that were sharing our table provided some excellent stories. They are on an international drug bust team working for the DEA out of DC. They had just finished the biggest drug bust Greece has ever had... 13,000 pounds (or 13 kilo) of Heroine. The pictures were insane! They were stopping through Munich on their way to Eastern Jamaica for another bust going down. Their work stories were the coolest! They actually want to recruit Kyle to be on their team, haha! Anyways, we didn't end up leaving the Hofbräuhaus until 2 AM, putting us home around 2:30. We had to be up the next morning very early for a bus tour to Bavaria. Ugh, you have done it again, Hofbräuhaus!!!!!
