Monday morning, I woke up dead with no energy at all. The weekend had completely drained me, but we had to check out of the hostel. Everyone from our group was just kind of lounging around, making plans for the day. Erik and I eventually got down to the train station and stowed our luggage for the day. Since we had been stuck in Oktoberfest all weekend, you really had no idea what Munich looked like! We headed downtown again and actually did some touring. Munich has a really nice park and huge garden area, along with a nice river that flows through the town. I fell asleep for a few hours by the river and took some pictures of the ducks.
One of the coolest thing I saw in Munich was a pay-as-you-go bike. They were scattered all over, they had little meters in them and you would have to pay like 1 Euro for 5K biking or something. It was so weird at first, seeing bikes lying all over, but the government has to make good money on them because everyone bikes around here.
Another interesting thing were the stop lights. Since everyone bikes, you have stop lights for the bikes. Public transportation using busses is very popular too, so they have stop lights for the busses. Combine that with stop lights for normal cars and I have no clue what the hell this is:
We grabbed dinner and lounged around in the train station for the rest of the night until our train left at like 3AM. We eventually got to Osnabrueck in the late afternoon and Erik went to his apartment. We had finally arrived at our destination!
