Arriving in Munich, Germany

So today, after another train ride from hell, we arrived in Munich Germany. While the train ride had potential to be exciting, as it was Jenna's birthday at midnight, and we had alcohol with us, we were to exhausted to do anything, so we started to doze off. We had to share a compartment with 2 other semi-sketchy old guys, but it wasn't the worst. After I fell asleep, it seemed like every 15 minutes i would wake up, and check my watch, and look around. I was antsy, and I couldn't get any good sleep. Finally around 4 am, I stopped trying. I just sat there and waited for our stop in Munich at 6:30am.

When we arrived in Munich, I was exhausted from 3 nights of terrible sleep on trains, not eating well, and not knowing how to speak German.. Things were looking pretty bad. So we went to the information booth and asked if they knew where our hotel was. Luckily, practically every german knows a little English.. ;) She told us how to get there by subway, so we headed on our way. The subways in Munich are very clean, but some of the cars are really old. And for some reason, no one has to pay to use them! We got to our stop, and walked toward the hotel.. It looked like paradise!

We got inside and they said our room was ready, we marched upstairs, only to find the MOST comfortable beds in the world, with down comforters and amazing feeling sheets.. We decided to go down and use the gym, try out the saunas, and then sleep from 9am till whenever we woke up.. And that is exactly what we did.

We woke up about an hour ago at 5:30 pm. We've just finished showering, changing, and getting ready and now are about to head off for the Oktoberfest Festival... Munich, here I come!!!
