Europe Day 12- Paris/Munich

Today will be a short post!!

Our last morning of our routine of stopping for breakfast and riding the metro.



We had until about 2 or 3:00 before we had to be back at our hotel to go to the airport for our flight to Munich. There wasn't anything we were dying to do in this short time. We walked to some Palace, but they were having an exhibit and charging some outrageous admission, so we left there. Then we just walked along the Seine, where dustin got scammed-- Rick had warned us about this, but Dustin was too cool to read any tour books. A guy came by and drops a ring on the ground when you aren't looking, then pretends to find it and insists that you keep it and then asks for money. So I'm busy taking a picture of another couple and I can see this happening out of the corner of my eye. So the guy puts the ring on dustin's finger and then dustin gave him money! I'm like- no more of that- quit being so stupid and nice!


We had tried to find a lock cause wanted to put it on this bridge where people just hang out and picnic on, play music, etc. Locks were too expensive for Dustin to spend the money on, so we didn't end up doing that. So everything was just not going our way so far today!


We stopped for lunch in the Latin Quarter again and went to a different place and just ordered 2 cheese fondues-- it was SO MUCH CHEESE!!


We then took our flight to Munich and got to our hotel there. We dropped off our stuff and took the metro into downtown and went to the Hofbrauhaus. I had the BEST cheese spaetzle ever there. They used swiss cheese and carmelized onions to really give it some flavor! The beers were enormous and Dustin was in heaven. The place was HUGE and had to have held thousands of people-- you can see in the picture it's just a room full of long tables where people gather...then there are just many, many areas like this upstairs, downstairs, outside.
