March 3rd -Munich

We got into Munich and took the train towards the hotel. We lost the Munich folder. Thank god mom saved the address in her phone so we went to the hotel. Took a little nap when we got there. Went to kurgarden beer garden for dinner. Had the kasespatzle (cheesy pasta with fried onions) and apple strudel. The vanilla ice cream here is amazing! After the train from Laim to the center train station, we got some caffeine at Starbucks. Outside, we waited for the beer challenge to start. Learned that you can drink beer anywhere except for the trains!!  You can just close it by putting your thumb over the bottle. A couple years ago they had a huge nye party on the trains and damaged 8 trains!!! We took the train to paulaner beerhole. I had their wheat beer which is called the breakfast beer. They have beer all throughout the day here because its considered a food. After we went to the hofbrauhaus. The beer wasn't that good but the atmosphere was crazy. Bulgarian traditional dress, liters of beer, loud noise with a band. It was where the nazis declared their party upstairs. The swasika was painted on the top of the ceiling but after the nazi party stopped, they painted them to look disguised but still can make it out since it was part of history. Lastly we went to Augustine which has the best beer! Very tasty. They have what's called the popes beer. It's the ex-popes favorite beer and he only drinks that beer. I got an ice cream sundae here which was heavenly! We also learned that beer was originally created for the monks and their fasting. It was liquid so they could drink it but still had nutrients in it!! After, we went to another little bar for a bit for a free beer and jäger shot. Then we got a taxi home. Not too bad to spend the first night in Munich drunk with your husband and dad!  

I'll add the photos later since I'm having issues right now!

  1. I want pictures! Sounds like a lot of fun and how crazy that beer is considered food there. Interesting! What's the legal age for drinking? Did your sister have beer?
