Munich

I've arrived at Munich and am settling into the Wombat City Hostel, which seems like yet another good hostel. Tonight I went out and ate a traditional Bavarian dish, I can't remember what it's called but it's basically just sliced roast pork with gravy and a sort of cake thing called knödel. Pretty nice, though I'm not looking forward to over a week of food from a country whose idea of vegetables is sauerkraut.

Last night in Interlaken I met a Canadian girl called Maria who's travelling alone. She happened to mention she was going to a "three day rock festival in Nuremburg" and my jaw dropped. Not only is she going to Rock Im Park, but she was also heading to Munich today, so we did the train trip together and are hanging out here tonight. I grabbed a little downtime to write this post on the computers in the lobby, but we're about to hit the hostel bar. Probably going to Dachau tomorrow and then Neuschwanstein, or whatever its called, the next day. After that I'm going to Salzburg for a couple of days, but the plan is to meet Maria and her friends in Nuremburg, where we can pool resources and divide our time between my hotel room and her tent at Zeppelinfeld, plus maybe finally drink the wine I've been hauling around with me since Beaune. I'm excited.
