RTW: p45e - Gutentag! Munich & Wombats Hostel

Alo!

After missing out on the Shaolin Temple (THE place I wanted to visit in China!! ) I flew into München!

I stayed at Wombats Hostel, an Aussie themed hostel near Hauptbanhof (Central Station). It has a good open breakfast for a couple Euros, a bar, pool table, lounge etc. Good atmosphere for meeting other people and joining the Pub Crawl The prices were of course a little higher because of the World Cup, but they only raised them slightly compared to over DOUBLE at other hostels! And even a couple nights I didn’t book a room they managed to find one for me.

I got to Munich a week before the World Cup and major crowds, so I walked around the old Olympic Area (to become Fan Fest), checked out the guys “Surfing” in the park, where water comes out of a drain pipe, hits tree logs and causes a continuous wave which they take turns at surfing back and forth. The closest thing they’ve got to a beach I guess! but the water is freezing and dirty!

Also visited the BMW Museum and the Deutsches Museum!
