The Last Day in Munich and the Beginning of our Nightmare

On the last day, we decided to go for the half-day city tour of Munich offered free-of-charge right from our hostel (Wombat's Hostel).

A city tour is a MUST for Munich, especially if you are a history buff. Else, you'd just be walking along the streets of Munich, stepping on historical landmarks without even knowing it. If you happen to stay at Wombats, you should really go for it (just need to pay the tour guide how much you feel his tour has been worth as a token... he's good, anyway!)

Didn't take many photos, cos they're not really spectacular or anything, just historical.




English Garden, I believe




Guy 'surfing' in a street canal

Nothing much to say about the photos except that it's really cool to see people surfing in street canals! Wish this would happen in Singapore. Hah!


Anyway, after the end of the tour, we were about to be LATE for our train that we needed to catch to Prague!!! So we panicked and took a cab back to our hostel, bought plenty of bottled water and food to sustain us on our train ride, dragged our luggage to the train station.

It was craziness really, dashing around with all our stuff, in a place where majority don't speak English and trying to get help figuring out where on earth our platform is.

We made it anyway. However, we didn't manage to reserve any seats for our train because we were too late. NIGHTMARE. That means likely having to stand all 7 hours just like our train from the Netherlands to Munich.

Oh, anyway, I've decided that to interrupt this nightmare for the time being, the next post shall be on TRAINS! And what to do, and what not to do if you're using a EURAIL pass.
