Travels worth noting

May 20, Last of Trier
This was mostly a travel day really, but we returned to the Lindners back in Trier. This was our longest drive and we had the worst traffic jams. Still it was an enjoyable trip. Ian and I drove most of it. We spent the rest of the evening with Daniel, Josh and James Tiberio. We played some Foosball.

May 21, Breakfast and goodbye.
Yoham got a ride from a college which meant he didn't have to walk an hour to work so he could see us before we left. We said our goodbyes, happily knowing that we would see them again in September when they visit Josh and Marielle.

Munchen

Day 1 in Munich Saturday May 17,
Turkish Delights
We stayed in a hotel in the middle of a Turkish area. It wasn't as affluent as the rest of Munchen, but our hotel was actually pretty nice. The hotel had bought an apartment and was renting it out so all of us were in the same room. It was the first day in a while we had seen the sun shining, and it was very welcome. We wandered around downtown Munich had dinner on the first night. We also finished the Harry Potter series. Josh and I got drinks and saw an outdoor concert happening for free in a random square. We stayed for a couple songs and decided to see if there would be more on a different night.


Day 2 in Munich Sunday 18th,
Cars and Beer take 2
Today we went to the BMW museum. It was probably the coolest out of all the car museums. After the museum we went to the HofbrÀuhaus.
After a round of drinks we decided it was too busy and went back to the hotel to play a Rush Hour drinking game.

Rules:
  • Jackie Chan does something awesome
  • gun is pulled
  • racist comment
Day 3 in Munchen Monday 19th,
Nostalgic Wanderings
Shopping day. This was probably the best day of shopping we had. Munchen has lots of very cool corridors and a very cultural downtown. We had lunch on a rooftop patio overlooking a pedestrian intersection with street performers.

In the evening we planned to go back to the square to see if there was more live music. The guys were tired so they didn't go but I went and to my disappointment there was a DJ, playing some German electronic music. I stayed for a bit, talked to a few of the people there to find out what was going on.

Wien

Day 1 in Vienna, May 15 we drove from Hallstatt to Vienna. We walked around downtown Vienna. Josh wanted to go clubbing but all of us, including him were pretty tired from driving, after dinner we went back to our Hotel and watched Harry Potter, the Half Blood Price. The rain is getting to us.

Day 2 in Vienna, May 16 Today we got up really late, had brunch at a cafe, then went to a mall. We are going to have dinner. Today was fun, but not much to post about. We've been chugging along through the Harry Potter movies quite consistently, but we might miss tonight if we go clubbing.

Serenity

Today we just chilled. We had left over Shepard pie for brunch. Ian and I worked out for a bit, Phil and I went to the pool. We wanted to play volleyball but the weather was just way to rainy. As a group we drove into Hallstatt and had dinner. We watched the Order of Phoenix after dinner. Pictures of Hallstatt to come.

Rain

Today we drove to Hallstatt, well a city very close to it. The drive was rainy. We got to our only resort destination, Resort Oebetron. The resort was very nice but it definitely the off season. As I looked through the pamflet of activites in Hallstatt, I knew that we would not be able to do most of the outdoor activities because of the rain. This was very dissapointing that we got the weather that we did. There was a lot of georgous bouldering and climbing in the area, and I miss it so much. We talked about renting bikes, but the guys just ended up chilling. I went for a nice run. When I got back we went to a grocery store and made Shepard's Pie for dinner. After we continued watching the Harry Potter series.

Sweet Wandering.

Today we wandered around Salzburg. We wandered the Old downtown. I went through a few markets.


We walked around a castle and went into the a cemetery. We went into catacombs. After a while we decided to go to the Stiegl Brewery.


By the time we got there we were all pretty tired and hungry. Phil was feeling a bit ill, so we didn't to the tour. We just had a meal and hung out for a bit, then Phil and I walked back to the hotel, and took a nap. Ian and Josh stopped and bought some chocolate on the way back. When they got back we had dinner then watched Harry Potter.
