26/8/2011 Prague, Czech Republic to Munich, Germany - Contiki tour day 39

After a few hours of sleep we got up, showered and packed the tent away and set off for Munich. Some people were a little worse for wear after the pub crawl the night before which made for an interesting bus ride… We set up the tents when we arrived in Munich then went into the city where we walked down to Marien Platz and up the bell tower of St. Peters kirche for views out over the city which was great. From there we went to a beer hall for dinner where I had the best pork knuckle ever with loads of crackling! There were traditional dancers, singers, and bell ringers which was cool to see. After another really hot day during the night it started to rain and turned cold and miserable!
