Munchen Deutschland

9 April:
Packed all day, spent time at the lake and got ready for my adventure! On the train to Munich now!

The second I got off the train.. What do I see on my right hand side? Heaven. Nearly. 

Venit Iced Soy Chai Tea Latte

What a great welcome to Deutschland! 

Shortly after I met my couchsurfing host; Detelin! Wasn't sure exactly how my first couch surfing experience would go, but I was willing to try. I haven't heard a bad thing about it yet! 

Detelin's Place

So about ten minutes after meeting him, I knew this was going to be a blast!

Making dinner

Had a delicous dinner. I told him that I'm a vegetarian, but I eat chicken" He found this hilarious!

But get this, his salt and pepper shakers are basically flashlights!! You push a button on top, a light comes on at the bottom and it grinds the salt/pepper. Insane!

After dinner we went and explored Munich at night. Walked around. Had a drink at a bar and got to know each other better. Once back, we looked up places for me to travel to next. So many options!

10 April:
Explored so much of the city!! Had a blast! Laughed a lot. Took videos, photos, explored explored explored!

Marienplatz

People surf here all the time!

She loved me

Two extremely delicious snacks!

We then decided to take a trip with the Underground over to Olympia park. We entertained ourselves! 

Fight in the subway!

We made it to Olympia Park where the Summer Olympics were in Munich in 1972. They are currently trying to get the Winter Olympics for 2018 which will be decided in July! 

Olympia Turer

 

Where concerts are now held!

BMW Welt

At the top!

View of Munich

After viewing Munich from the top, we then went to BMW world. Insane! Don't tell anyone, but I won a free car.

This one in particular!

We then decided to go to a lake outside Munich! Starnberger See. How did we get there? On the autobahn!  One of many things I've wanted to do on my life! 218kmh... About 140 mph. So fun! 

Starnberger See

Had authentic Italian gelato! 

Detelin's Auto

Returned home and made dinner: chicken soup, salad! 

Researched a bit more and booked my next trip: Faro Portugal! Couchsurfing again! Manager of a hotel is going to host me! Can't wait! 

 Downloaded iLife '11 and Microsoft '11! My new saying is: "Danke Shen once again!"

11 April:
Walked around and explored on my own. Bought an amazing shirt!

Had lunch. Explored. Found another Starbucks. They don't know what skinny means when you order a drink. If anything, my drink had more caramel syrup than anything else, delicious nonetheless. Ate my box of strawberries and sat with some German ladies and enjoyed the sun. 

Skyped with mom again. Trying to plan our European adventure together! Too many options!

Anyhow on the U back to meet up with Detelin. He had to work today, but we are going geocaching! I told him about it. And two minutes later he bought the ap on his iPhone!

We found 2/2 caches!

 Returned home and became a true german, take a look! 

Trachten

CouchSurfing in Deutschland... literally!

 Last night in Munich, but I will definitely be back! How can I not like a city with an underground and Starbucks? And the most amazing host ever. Exceeded my expectations to say the least!

A lot of the day in Munich tomorrow, and then in the afternoon I will take a train out of the city to catch my flight to Faro, Portugal! Another exciting adventure ahead of me!
