Meating Munich

Following a night of broken sleep we rise unrefreshed to a bracing 0 degree Munich morn. Due to our late arrival last night somehow we managed to miss out on dinner so today was a day of compensatory eating.
First stop, California Bean for a light continental breakfast.


We then make our way



to our meeting place for our bicycle tour of Munich; our tour leader,Chris, fills our head with stories of the heady days of the 3rd reich and other anecdotes relating to the history of this fair city.

WTF?

The ride includes 3 category two, 2 category one and 1 HC climbs. One of the friendly locals
comments to me after I grazed his arm that I was an "arschloch", which our guide translates as meaning "fine fellow" in the local patois.
We stop for light lunch with refrshing health drink at the English Garden where the colourful locals are planning the next putsch.



Surfing Munich style



Following a post prandial nap we make our way to dinner

Sound of Music revisited but then its all downhill

Heiko shows us his collection of strangled cats before preparing a luscious breakfast of toenail stew on toast. We then head into Salzburg to pay our tribute to Julie Andrews and all the little Trapdoors. We dress up for the reenactement-that's me on the far right, Eric is centre stage Frank, Claire,Robyn and Eric Schnitzel overload We are then off to Durrnberg in order to experience the 2.2km bobsled run. Despite my pleas to walk to the top the lazy sods decide to chairlift it. At the top is a schnitzel house and why not? Grostl Then it is off to the bobsled run for our hare raising trip down at breakneck speeds. Unfortunately we are preceded by a group of dopey teenage girls who use the brakes excessively and we are reduced to a snail's pace much to the chagrin of the hoon element in our group. Then it is off to Munich airport and a tearful farewell to Claire and Eric and a midnight dash to Budapest. At Budape...

We indulge in Rhinoscopy-Braubach to Rhens

Following a traditional Prussian breakfast of marmot earlobes on toast we make our way backwards via train This Fraulein has had too much Apfelstrudel,perhaps yes? and ferry to Boppard. Despite my begging entreaties, the group has voted to take the chairlift up the vertiginous heights of the local mountain. I am forced into this unnatural contraption by the local constabulary and need to be strapped in, in order to prevent me from jumping out. Walking is easier today though I still am hearing rumbles of dissent from the the low lifes I have unfortunately chosen as my companions. Some of our views are better than so-so, and we eventually have lunch beside an ancient Roman sanitary facility (yuk)! Eventually we arrive in Rhens only to be told that the only restaurant in town is closed. So we hop onto the local omnibus and have a most satisfactory meal at the adjacent town, a mere 2 hours away.

Munich foodie paradise

Having been sedentary lately I decide to try my hand at surfing Munich style Easier than it looks and then it is off to the market for a light breakfast. Light breakfast in Munich is defined as "lacking a litre of beer". Tonight we have booked in to the Tantris restaurant-foin doining at its best with a strong Australian connection. Glad to see this style of facial hair has come back into fashion-seemed unpopular for a while
