Prague to Munich ... Day Seven

Our last morning in Praha was pretty quick.  We got up nice and early to get packed.  Our train left at 9:15 AM, so we wanted to be early just in case.  Walking to the train station, it starting raining on us.  I was sad to leave Prague, but I'm glad we weren't there when it was cold AND rainy.  It would have been hard to enjoy the city.  We passed this huge building on the way to the station.  We never made it in here, but it was so pretty I had to capture it on camera. 

 

Once we got to the station, we sat at a coffee shop there and waited until our platform number came up on the screen.  We only had a few coins, but it was just enough for us to split a latte.  We broke open the last of our chocolate biscuits and shared the latte. 

Here is a view of the station and then our seats on the train. 

We actually got to have the 4 person space to ourselves for most of the ride, which was amazing.  On the train ride, we were giggling about how him or I would keep trying to steal the strawberry bar.  We had an odd number left, so we were trying to snatch it while the other snoozed.  We also ended up playing Mancala on my phone on the ride, which I totally kicked his butt.  This train ride was interesting because we would stop at stations and our train would actually change direction.  That happened 3 or 4 times through out the ride.  I was able to actually capture some photos on this train that weren't horrible.

These were the most amazing crackers that we had gotten at the store the day before.  They were SUPER addicting!  We ate the whole bag way too quickly.  We also saw this group somewhere along the trip.  I mean, why not take a horse ride through the snow?

After spending most of the day sitting on the train, we were happy to finally make it to Munich.  We walked from the station and found our hotel.  It was more on the 'hostel' style, where we had our room with a sink, but shared a bathroom

We pretty much dropped off our stuff off as quickly as we could and made our way to our first brewery.  D was VERY excited to finally have some tasty beer!

This was the street our hotel was on.  Most of Munich is pretty packed and not a ton of greenery in the heart of the city.  Our first stop was the original brewery location of Augustiner.  We were pretty early in the afternoon, so it was pretty empty when we first arrived.  This original location is actually on the other side of the city from most of the major attractions.

We were thrilled to enjoy a few beers and then ventured to the other side of town before it got too dark.

I was actually surprised when we were walking how fancy the center shopping area was.  Even though it wasn't actually snowing that night, it still was pretty chilly.  How gorgeous was this building we stumbled upon?

We made it through one of the major squares, and after some searching, we ended up finding the Hofbrauhaus.  We came into a packed restaurant and found a tiny little corner for us to enjoy some more beer.     

These huge babies were just the start of our night.  Needless to say, we started to just be silly and take some even sillier pictures...  Don't worry, we did get a basket of bread and pretzels to soak up some of the drinks. 

We had a great time just people watching and enjoyed the live music and the old men there with their legit steins.  Then, because we hadn't had enough, we went across the street to Augustiner for one beer.  By that point I think we were both spent.  It was freezing there, still not snowing, but just a wet cold.  We made it as quickly back to our hotel as we could in search for some yummy kebabs.  Luckily there was one right across the street and it was quite delicious!
