Day 2...Münich, Germany

When we finally landed in Frankfurt, we were all pretty tired. It didn't take us too long to go through customs and get our packs. We took the bus to the next terminal and then a train to the Frankfurt HBF (main train station). In that process, Kerri got hit with a bit of motion sickness. But it wasn't too bad. We got our overnight train reservation at the Frankfurt HBF and waited for our train to Munich. Here's some pictures from that part of our journey.
Once we made it to Münich, we checked into our hostel and went shopping. I particularly wanted to purchase a drindl (the authentic German dress) and a pyramida (a traditional Christmas decoration). Here some pictures from our night of shopping.


For dinner, we ate at the legendary Hofbräuhaus. It is a famous beer hall in Münich. While everyone was drinking to their hearts content...we were eating good food. Here are some pictures from our adventure there.


Then we walked around downtown Münich and took a few pictures of the surroundings. This main clock is called the "Glokenspiel". I'm not sure if that is how it is spelled. :) They also had their Christmas Market out and it was amazing! They had an ice skating rink at the beginning of the main street.

Coming up next...Day 3...Salzburg, Austria!
