I woke up to find that the rain had stopped and it was now glorious sunshine. Time to start today's wander!
I couldn't be bothered using a map so just started walking towards what I thought looked like the city centre. Turns out I was right, Bloodhound Reilly strikes again! I stumbled across a massive fountain in the middle of the pavement, and as it was roasting I decided to stick my head in it. It was Baltic, but I needed it.
I continued down what appeared to be the main shopping district, thankfully the gods of footlocker had decided not to place a shop here or I may have gone a bit radgy. That almost happened anyway, as it was Saturday the place was packed and everyone was moving at a snails pace. There's nothing I hate more than people walking slowly when you can't get past them. There should be some sort of fast lane on the pavement for people who have the ability to walk faster than a three year old.
At the end of the shopping district I found a farmers Market type affair happening, so decided to check it out. It was absolutely stinking of sausage and cheese (steady now). I bought a bunch of grapes for brunch and headed onwards.
I stopped in at a tourist information place to ask some advice on buying tickets for the Bayern Munich game tomorrow, and the woman basically laughed me out of the shop. Apparently this is not an easy thing to do, and the game would be well sold out by now. If I wanted a ticket I would have to go to the stadium and buy one off a random punter standing outside for a ridiculously over inflated price. Raging. Still I'm in Milan next weekend so hopefully I can get to a game there.
As I was walking back to the hostel two suspicious characters came up to me and started speaking German. I told them I didn't speak German (but I can if you like - yes finally got a Lady Gaga lyric in) but it turned out they were Americans. Have I heard of the church of Jesus Christ of the latter day saints? MORMONS! I quickly brought out the blades of atheism and science smashed him with them. The look on his face when I started talking about Darwinian Evolution was priceless. Neither of them had anything they could say to that and they just walked off. I'm all for people believing whatever they want to as long as it doesn't affect me in any way, but don't try and push your unproven guff on me in the middle of the street in Munich please mr preacher. Cheers.
By the time I got back to the hostel it had started pishing it down again, so I decided to stay indoors tonight and watch some of V: The New Series (season 2), and had a kebap for tea. Hopefully the rain clears up tomorrow so I can get out and see some more of this city.
