Day 10

We finally found Tyler's parents in the morning. They had arrived in Gimmelwald at 10PM, 6 and a half hours late. They, like us, had train problems in France that messed up their entire schedule (they wer coming to Gimmelwald from Paris). We soon said our goodbyes because we were leaving for Munich at 9:30AM, and they were leaving for Munich at 11:00AM. We made plans to meet at the entrance of the train station in Munich at 7:30PM.

The train ride to Munich was mostly uneventful, though we passed a nuclear plant in Zurich, which I also have a picture have. We arrived in Munich, only to see that there were 3 entrances. What entrance would Tyler's parents be at? We then looked for our hostel and found it pretty easily as it's across the street from the station. We went back to the station to wait for his parents and tried to guess what train they'd be arriving on. Fortunately, we guessed correctly and we met them as they exited their train.

We walked with them to their hotel, also close to the train station, and we passed many adult clubs. I think I counted at least 10 in the one little neighbourhood. It was pretty funny to see a bar, a sex club, a hotel, and a church all in a row. We ate at the Hofbrauhaus, a German beer garden. It was packed with people, but we found a table outside in the courtyard. I got water of course, but the others all got big pints of beer. Tyler's parents ate wiener scnhitzel for dinner while Tyler and I ate steak with mashed potatoes. We also bought a giant pretzel. In case you're wondering, it tastes very similar to a tiny pretzel.

On our way back to the hotels, we got a little lost and it took us a while to find our way back. We passed more drunk people and sex clubs, until we finally reached our destination.
