Day Twelve - On The Trail Again

I woke up with a banging headache, so decided to drink one of those hydration powder thingys to help the hangover, good shout Claire and Gabby! After a while my head felt a little better so I decided to get on my way.

Thankfully the station I needed to go to was only a 5 minute walk from the hostel, the exact opposite of what I had to put up with on arriving here. I made the short trek and before I knew it the train was ready to depart.

Vienna - Munich
Unfortunately this train wasn't one with the wee booths, I was devastated. Even still the train was very comfy, and even had a wee monitor on the ceiling showing the journey and how far along we were on a map, which was a neat wee innovation. After a while I got bored so decided to go along to the bisto car and get myself something to eat, namely two frankfurters. Again no conversations with other travelling wilburys, think most folk usually go further east from Vienna across to Budapest rather than back west. At least I had glee to keep me company though. No problemo.

The train seemed to take no time at all, and eventually I arrived at Munich Hauptbahnof. The weather report was for rain but it was glorious sunshine! Get in! I jumped on the s-bahn one stop and found my way to the hostel. I was first in my room so got my pick of the beds, yass!

I'd been feeling a bit of a pain on my stomach where my rucksack clipped round, so I had a quick shower and took a look at what was a nasty looking graze on my stomach. How the hell did that get there? It was now turning a nice shade of black. Boots first aid kit to the rescue, mon the germolene!

After I sat down to write yesterday's blog, I decided I wouldn't stray too far and just had a leisurely stroll around the surrounding area. I then found out I could have skipped the s-bahn altogether earlier as it was only a 5 minute walk from the station. Cheers for the rubbish directions hostel. I had something to eat and made my way back to the hostel, just as the weather forecast I had aluded to earlier kicked in, and it started bucketing it down. What timing!

I returned to the room and met my co-habitants. An American dad and son combo doing some euro travelling, and a ridiculous pair of German guys. I say ridiculous as they only knew a few English phrases, such as "I'm here for kicking ass and chewing gum" and "that is what she said". I really had to force myself not to laugh they were that bad.

Another day down, big day of sight seeing tomorrow hopefully!
