Munich

We spent one night in Munich in order to catch a relatively cheap flight to the UK the following morning. We experienced some fun with a potential hiccup in our travel plans due to yet another strike of the local transportation workers in Budapest. We were forced to walk to the train station, which took us about 45 minutes with our packs, and our train to Munich was not only delayed, but stopped in Vienna. Luckilly we were able to hop on another train from Vienna to Munich and arrived only about 40 minutes late to our destination.

Our hostel was pretty much a huge party. There was a large bar area with a happy hour which we later took part in, but not before visiting the tradtional Bavarian beer halls. We stopped at a place that was known for their good beer selection, as well as their bratwurst. We ordered some Augustiner beers stored in wooden kegs that were both really tasty. We also tried their sausages and yet again sauerkraut, which was also quite good and went well with the beer. They gave us a basket of pretzles which were delicious in their housemade mustards.

Our hostel gave us 2 free beer coupons, so we took advantage of the late night happy hour starting at midnight in the hostel bar for a little while until we went to bed in order to catch our morning flight to Edinburgh.
