This is the 15th of a
series of posts recalling my trip to Europe,
using e-mails sent at the time. Unlike
later trips, I didn’t e-mail people everyday.
Trip reports are largely as I wrote them at the time with two
exceptions: 1. I was usually pretty rushed due to Internet fees in Europe, so I’ve cleaned up my e-mails to make them more
coherent, which wasn’t a priority at the time.
Also, in some blog posts I’ll add additional thoughts with the hindsight
of nine years later or to add further clarification. I’ll use “NOW” in such cases.
This
15th report covered most of my final day in Munich, though there will be one more post
kind of related to my time there.
Well,
it was sunny in the morning so I dodged bikers and made my way to the English Gardens, while the weather played tug-o-war
all day. As such I didn’t really see
much of the colourful elements the gardens are known for. Finally went to the zoo where it rained
again.
[NOW:
Apparently the English
Gardens are quite the
nudist area sometimes. I’m pretty sure I
also visited them earlier as well.]
It
was quite pricey to get to the zoo: two zones bus or Metro, which is E4 each
way.
[NOW:
Can’t recall which I took now.]
Zoo
was pretty nice. More plants than most
which is probably good for the animals.
For dinner ate a Japanese meal at McDonald4s, so American chain,
Japanese food, German city, Canadian tourist.
Interesting combo.
Last
night the Australians currently sharing my place got home and starting chatting
with one another in young male posturing speak.
Didn4t say anything, but since I4ve never bought into the "I could
have BLEEPed her" type talk I got a bit of entertainment out of that.
[NOW:
At least one of them started farting, which was also pretty funny to them.]
Otherwise
a slow day. Not sure where3 I’m going to
end up tomorrow: to include Liechtenstein
in my trip en route to Zurich
I have to go a roundabout way. So I
could stop for the day at Innsbruck (Austria), Buchs (Switzerland),
Vaduz (Liechtenstein)
or Zurich (Switzerland) itself. Will try to work it out this evening, after
first calling to find out how the Visa transfer is going.
[NOW:
As future reports will demonstrate, I went to Innsbruck
for a couple days, then briefly to Vaduz en
route to Zurich.]
