Day 3 - Views of Munich and off to Berlin












This morning was a bit of an indecisive morning. I kind of felt like I had seen most of Munich but thought I would stay another day. I woke up and had my breakfast and then headed out to walk around. Another beautiful sunny fall day. I took the long staircase (300+ stairs) up St Peter’s Cathedral tower to see an incredible view of the city. Besides the staircase being a little clastrophobic it wasn't too bad. I was even able to step out on the the platform. It helped that I was able to stick myself up against the back wall and the balcony was surrounded by bars from top to bottom. Still made my legs a little wobbly though. After that I walked around a bit more and couldn't think of what else to do so thought maybe it is time to move. I picked up my bag at the hostel and decided to just see where the next train on the departure board was going to. It said Salzburg, Austria and I was pretty excited but the train had just left and it hadn't cleared the board yet. So Berlin came next. I hopped to train and 6 hours later made it to Berlin. Upon arrival I checked the internet for a place to stay and got directions to the first hostel reccommended. Not much else going on tonight. Will probably do the walking tour tomorrow and check out a museum or two. Apparently Thursday after 2:00pm they are all free. Good timing I guess.
