Day 10- A half day in Berlin

Hey y'all, I didn't get a blog up last night due to lack of internet, but I'm sitting in a starbucks in Munich so I'll write up a quick one.

We had a bit of a late start, sleeping in until about 9 and lounging around the hotel. We then headed towards museum island, with only the vaguest directions. We found our way and went to the Neue museum, or New museum. An ironic name considering its full of ancient artifacts. There were Roman, Greek, and Egyptian artifacts, all very cool. We then went to the Alt Museum (old museum), which wasn't as cool, but had a series of greek and roman statues.

We then had a late lunch at a place called the Twelve Apostles. It was an Italian pizza place with a pizza named after, you guessed it, each one of Jesus's disciples. I got the Simon which had pepperoni, spinach and goat cheese. It was good, but far too large for me, and I left a good quarter of it on the plate.

We then made our way to the train station even though our train didn't leave till eight. Claudio thought we had to be there early, so we basically sat around for the better part of three hours. I read a book, so I wasn't suffering any, but Claudio looked bored. When the train finally arrived I made my way aboard with trepidation, my last experience not being so good. This one was much better though, we shared our room with a Swedish lady and her son, and both spoke very good English. We were joined by a German hippie later, which was weird, but it was a good trip, all said and done.

We got off the train in Munich this morning, and immediately started looking for a place selling Weisswurst. We came across a decent looking restaurant and sat down. Claudio and I each ordered the wurst and a beer. Yup, nine in the morning and we were drinking. I have a picture of it that I'll upload later. I've entitled it "Munich Breakfast." Before you all get offended, let me add that EVERYONE there was drinking beer, it's a Munich thing, trust me.

After that we wandered, and right now we're slowly making our way to the beer museum. I personally am hoping they let us drink our way through history.

Until next time,
