Munich

We arrived in Munich after a short night's sleep on the train. The only places open for breakfast at 6 a.m. are hotel restaurant buffets, so that meant hunks of meat and cheese. The museum district opens early, too, so we spent the morning in the Deutsches museum. It's a gigantic science museum with some pretty neat stuff, although there's English notes for only some of the exhibits. I got to see the Enigma machine.


On our way back to the hotel we wandered through the Farmer's market. Blueberries and Blackberries are so cheap and delicious here. All around downtown music they have painted lions, similar to the painted bears in Zurich.


Back at the hotel we collapsed for a 6 hour nap. We'd been shorting ourselves on sleep throughout the trip so it felt really good. The bed was really comfy

We had dinner at a sushi place in downtown. I know it's not very German, but we missed sushi. The sushis was smaller than the sushi at Aya Sushi back home, but it was still filled with tasty fish. One of the side dishes was spinach mixed with sesame paste, which was delicious.

Ironically, we found a venue with a British Indie Rock band that night. Though we had struck out for British Music in Britain, we found it in Germany. The band was called apartment and they were pretty good. At times they sounded like punk and at other times they sounded like wishy washy alternative so they were atleast pretty unique. There were even some fans from Britain there with them, getting the crowd revved up.
