Munich, Munich, Munich...

Oh...I don´t even know where to start with this post! We have been crazy monkeys these past couple of days!

Since leaving the cutest little town ever, Rothenburg, we headed south to Bavarian country and arrived in Munich (a.k.a. München) on Wednesday. Well, needless to say I wasted no time getting down to business here in beer country.

Our very first stop was the Hofbrauhaus - the famous beer hall that serves over 10,000 liters (yes, liters!) of beer a day! After hanging out there for a couple hours (or 8), Noah and I heard there was a FC Bayern Munich versus FC Barcelona soccer (a.k.a. football here) game that night at 6pm. On a whim, we headed down to Allianz Arena and well, to make a long story short, couldn´t get tickets, walked around for an hour a half, met a dad and son who left the game, gave us their tickets and snuck into the game and made it for the second half! The longer version will come later when I have more time! It´s seriously hilarious!

We found that shopping in Munich has been the best cure as it has rained here on and off the past few days. Munich is surprisingly fashionable, and we could not resist spending more money than we should have adding to our wardrobes! We´ve also visited all the sites, including St. Peter´s Church, Virtualienmarkt (a market area) and Marienplatz (the city center). Today, we also went to Dachau Concentration Camp which was absolutely amazing! More on that later!

I am going to write in more detail later, I promise as well as post lots and lots of photos! Otherwise, take care, sit tight and I promise you will be getting a much better blog post here soon! Auf wiedersein!
