In continuation of my last post...yes, we basically slept well. Don't think it's a great idea to do two night trains back to back though. Oops...let's see how that goes tonight. Arrival in Munich was about 7:05 this morning and departure tonight was about 23:00. So, we had almost 16 hours to kill. We started off finding a locker to put our stuff in. Then, we needed water. Did you know that regular bottled water isn't that easy to find? Mostly, it's a bunch of sparkling and mineral water. We also found a bag to put a bunch of stuff in. Now, time for breakfast and recharging. And by recharging, I mean literally recharging batteries. We blew through our iPhone batteries and two external batteries since we left Kolding. We kinda assumed the night train last night would have power, so we didn't care about killing our batteries on the previous train and in Hamburg...we were wrong. After charging what we needed and grabbing a quick bite at the local Coffee Fellows, we took public transit to Olympia Park. By the way, it doesn't seem as though they ever check tickets, whether its by tram, U train, S train, or bus. Once in the park, we found a great little spot to grab a beer and some orange juice, Olympia Alm.
Next up, a trip up to the observation deck of the Olympiaturm to take in all of Munich at once.
I grabbed a 1/2m Bratwurst and Lindsey grabbed some pasta and we had lunch down at the bottom. From there on to BMW Welt (World) where we took a bit of a Break and saw their latest vehicles.

From there, we had a bit of trouble with public transit, but eventually got to Scloss Nymphenburg, an old seat of the royalty of Bavaria and did a quick tour. Beautiful ceiling paintings.

Roasted pork and 3 hefs was my dinner at Hofbräuhaus. A great time. Then, we took a pedicab back to Coffee Fellows to recharge and wait for our train. Recharging was not necessary though, as this train actually had outlets in the passenger compartments.
