Munchen.

No imaginative title today, I'm very sleepy today.  Plus my brain waves are being distracted by the night club style lighting in the lobby/bar here (where we have to sit to use wifi) which keeps changing colour.

Well in some ways the room mates weren't as bad as I thought they might be.  They didn't party in the room, and didn't bring any girls home.  They were also worse.  They came in around 11 to get changed or something, and held an above normal conversation levels conversation.  One of the othe girls in the room asked them if they could speak more quietly and the worst guys response was 'WE'RE GOING OUT IN LIKE 10 SECONDS.  WHY AREN'T YOU GOING OUT?' 'we have a train to catch early in the morning' 'OH, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?'.  Apparently in retarded British boy world asking you to keep the noise down is an invite to start a conversation.  They then left deliberately leaving the light on.

They stumbled back in at 5.30 in the morning.  I heard them coming from some way away.  They were loud once again, but the thing that annoyed me the most was that they got into bed and one minute later, having given us no chance to fall asleep, one of them started snoring.  They were also the only ones in the room who didn't wake up when their phone alarm went off.  On three separate occassions.  Overall the kind of room mates I'm glad to escape.  Tonights can't be any worse.

So a bad sleep last night then, and unfortunately coming after another bad sleep it left me feeling pretty exhausted today.  We spent most of the morning organising washing, but thankfully thats another load dealt with.  Eventually we made it out into Munich.  We headed up to the Neue pinakothek.  It was a great gallery, it had Van Goghs sunflowers, a bunch of Monet, Manet, and other people I can't remember at the moment.  Great with the exception of getting stuck in the door on the way in.  It was one of those turning doors and poor Soph got her sandal stuck under the glass door behind us.  With some shoving by me, and the girl on the other side on the doors, and the guy pushing her shoe from the other side we managed to break free.  It was quite an entrance into the large quiet and formal entrance of the museum. 

It was 2pm by the time we got done there, so we found some lunch at a very popular salad/soup place in university teritory.  I also cruised back past a 'trinkets' store we had passed getting to the museum, and, well....I have another trinket.  A ring this time, I was very tempted by a pearl ring they had, but went for the first one I spotted instead.  It's lucky I had so much spare money coming on this trip, to cover all these trinkets. 

After lunch we planned to head down through Marienplatz to the science museum which I was going to go see.  Part way there, having gotten a little disorientated on the streets, and it now being 4pm I decided to call it quits and head back to recheck into the hostel.  It'll be an early bed tonight.  I still hope to go the museum tomorrow, if we have enough time after Dachau.  But who knows what will happen tomorrow.

On a very positive note, we managed to get our tickets for Ryanair printed today, and for significantly less than the euro a page the last hostel was going to charge us.   So thats one rather nagging problem sorted.
