Oh... the trains!
To pick up where we left off... the Motzart Pub was excellent. The food was good and the desert was excellent. The palatzinkys (spelling? a.k.a crepes) where just like Grandpas... mmmm delish!
The next mornign we woke up a bit late for our scheduled 8 o'clock train and the next one left at 10:30 so we made our way to the grocery store to pick up some breakfast. We went back to the hostel to eat and then headed to the train station. We asked what platform our train was leaving from and were happy to see it was waiting for us on platform 7. We got on and settled in for our train ride to our final destination Munich... and the trains final destination Hamburg. As you can probablly guess our trip did not go quite as planned. After being on the train for 4 hours (playing cards, frequenting the food car, and sleeping) we got ready to listen for our train stop. Our train stopped and we were unsure of where we were so we asked a local, who had just got on the train, if we were in Munich to which she replied that our train was not going to Munich. We waited another 45 minutes until our next stop in Nurmeburg and got off. While we were waiting for our transfer train (another hour) we decided to get some lunch. We then got back on a train and headed towards Munich... this time for real. We talked the whole way, avoiding sleep and assuring we did not miss our stop. Apparently we were listening too hard because at the first mention of Munich we sprung up from our chairs and exited the train only to realize that we just got off on a tiny platform that resembled a balance beam with no sign of a large city in sight. A bit worried we asked some people still standing on the train at the door way if we were in fact standing in Munich, when they said no, we hurriedly leaped back on to the train and remained standing until our next stop in Munich. Once again we got off the train and this time had no problems finding our hostel.
