Backpacking (Central/Eastern) Europe

Travel time: August 2008  |  by Christina E.

Germany

Munich, Germany:

Verbatim from a page in my journal:

*Poor Traveler's Discount (I convinced the front desk guy to give us a discount, and when he asked what type of discount we qualify for, I replied, "The poor traveler's discount!")

...and yes, it worked!

*Cute black front desk guy at Euro Youth hostel. I was instantly smitten!

*Pub crawl (dear god)
-Steins, Biergarten.
-Girl threw up on herself. Girl fell asleep in it.
-"Hovecta Shiza", the phrase heard down the streets and 'round the biergartens, much to the dismay of many people/locals.
-Biergarten restroom had no separation between the men and women's side.
-Slept in til 1:15pm at the 4U hotel, too sick to move to the next hostel. Stayed another night.

4U Hotel. We were so happy not having to sleep on a bunk bed! (and damn Adam's plastic bags...very annoying to wake up to in the mornings)
