Day 11 - Last full day :(

August 27

Our last day in Europe :( Our plan for the day ended up being to rent bikes from the hotel and play Municher for the day.



We decided to head for the nearby English Garden to which we were able to find well marked bike paths to get there. I thought it was more like an arboretum than a garden but what do I know. We found the "lake" and rented a paddle boat with our last 10 euros - oops!



After our time on the lake, we had to leave and find money which turned into a trip to the post office and grocery store as well. We bought picnic supplies but also things to take home so we ended up biking back to the hotel and then back to the garden.

We headed for the North part of the garden this time and quickly found a place for our picnic. It seemed to become doggie central as we ate. The Germans have very well-behaved dogs though and we weren't too bothered by them. We rode around the garden for awhile and found a Hofbräuhaus Minibeergarden. We stopped there to have a drink and decided to play some rummy.

After awhile I didn't feel all that well, so we left the park to look for a cache and head back to the hotel.

I was feeling better after a little while so we decided to rest our wander-weary bones in the hotel's whirlpool, pool, and sauna (ok, only Will went in the sauna because they make me feel very light-headed and uncomfortable). After showering, we headed to dinner at a place that the concierge assured us would make jägerschnitzel even though it wasn't on the menu but they wouldn't. After dinner, we went back to the hotel so that I could repack. We had to expand the one suitcase and employ our small-packed extra bag to get everything to fit! And we didn't feel like we'd acquired that much stuff.

We had dessert in the hotel just because. Our waitress had no one else to wait on and was thrown off when all we wanted was dessert. She was very funny and we decided that she was Swiss and was paying her way through school in Munich.
