Thursday=Travel Day

Travel day! We went to the grocery store and got some snacks, packed up and checked out! We went an hour early to the station just to be safe and made it on the train to Munich without stress. It was a 6 hour ride with a transfer on the German border, but it went pretty fast! The view was incredible and I was surprised to see so many green rolling hills and beautiful cottages. We got to the station and quickly realized that everything was a lot more fast-paced. People were constantly jetting in front of us and running around us, we just stopped and stared for a while. We had very vague instructions on how to get to our hostel and we had no clue how to get on the right train. After finding someone who barely spoke English and following our gut instinct, we made it on the right train. It had taken almost two hours! We got to the OEZ station in downtown Munich and were lost again. We only had a streetname so we, again, asked for directions. The first set were wrong so we asked someone else and finally showed up at our hostel. It is so nice! Very clean rooms and lots of space, free internet and a lobby. We dropped off our luggage and set out to find dinner since at that point it was around 9:30 and neither of us had eaten since noon.
This whole trip Adam has been wanting to eat pasta, but we honestly never found a place that had it or that had it very cheap. So we walked by this little hole in the wall that said, “Pizza and Pasta” and Adam was sold. He looked at the long list of pasta choices and pointed to one and I ordered a calzone. They boxed up our food and we walked back to the hostel. He excitedly opened his pasta box only to find red rice. I started laughing so hard!! At first he was not happy but then thought it was hilarious. So tomorrow night I get to choose where we eat ☺

  1. WHoop that's so sad for Adam!! HAHA He's carb hungry like he was on the last trip poor guy. Sounds a bit stressful on the traveling side of things. Hope it's a bit more easy the next few days. Germany is gorgeous - the people a little cold - but just picture the pigs from Shrek and all is right with the world.
