Rebecca and I arrived in Munich with only minor public transport difficulties - we are now experts :) Actually we just walk everywhere. Yesterday we did our shopping [which is fun when you have 8 layers on and want to head to changing rooms]. The motivation to buy anything that involved boot or trouser removal decreases significantly.
Today, being Sunday, nothing was open [save coffee shops which we made good use of]. So we did sightseeing a bit. We hiked up to the top of St. Peter's Church tower, 306 steps in all, and because the sun was actually poking out today the view was lovely. Of course before we found the right church we nearly disrupted 2 other church services. Whoops. Then we attempted to find the palace but found the Munich Stadts Museum instead and Rebecca humoured me for a bit [plus it was free today!]. Then it was off to coffee and an attempt to find a tattoo studio -- but EVERYTHING is closed. So now we are on the hunt for one tomorrow morning. Uhg.
Things I found suprising here:
- Women wear GOBS of makeup -- more than I think was 'normal' in the states before I left.
- People all walk the same speed I do :)
- The amount of stuff you can buy is insane
- People in stores are remarkably unfriendly given the fact that I am spending money to give them...they could at least crack a smile.
Things I will miss:
- Thick toilet paper
- Really good coffee
- Racclette
- Hazelnut joghurt
