Bavarian Ridiculousity

Things don’t always go as planned, but at least everything has a silver lining. Missing our train provided the silver lining of an extra day in Paris and 30 euros back in Nic’s pocket. Unfortunately the silver lining was masking uncomfortable seats and a sleepless night-train to Munich. We were in a packed compartment with ridged seats: as one side of my body fell asleep, I shifted positions to make sure that half didn’t atrophy.
Thankfully we arrived in Landshuft bright and early Monday morning, with our Transporter in his new 7 series was waiting to deliver us to a ridiculous Bavarian Breakfast. We raced our way to the Palais Schatner, skidding and slidding down the cramped streets, to be welcomed by the senior Schatners and Thomas. After settling in and having 2 heavy (but heavinly) Bavarian meals, Thomas gave us a tour of Landshuft, which was highlighted by his ex-girlfriends’ houses.
We met up with Manuel at a café and had yet MORE food and hot chocolate before heading to the movie 11:14. This was one insane movie, starring Hilary Swank and a large cast. It was a series of crazy dark humor convergent stories that all revolved around the time 11:14.
The next day, we headed to Munich for Manuel’s classes and to meet up with Thomas. We spent a lot of time touring Munich with Thomas, only to have Manuel show us landmarks and ask, “What did Thomas show you if he didn’t show you this stuff?” The answer: his ex-girlfriend’s places. Thomas actually showed us a lot of the major shopping areas, as well as the impressive BMW pavilion.
We headed out to Kitzbürg that night, which is only an hour outside of Munich. The “Hut” they have there is no “Hut” at all, and is rather larger than the majority of the surrounding buildings. We settling in quickly, looking forward to our first day of Austrian skiing!
