Arived in Munich around 12:30 yesterday, stowed my luggage as planned and found Mike’s Bike Tours. It was awsome. I highly recomend people going to Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam or Paris take one of these tours. Our guide was funny and informitive. It is also fun trying to get back on the bike after the hour long trip to the China Beer Garden. I met some really cool people including a girl from Long Island who I need to call the next time I am back to NY. All in all the 4 hours and 23 euro (33 with the beer and food) were well spent.
After the tour I met my friend Aaron at the Hofbrauhouse for another round of beers. I met a bunch of his friends and a couple of canadian girls. We kept trying to get them to say “aboot” (about) the whole night. Being awake for god knows how long (I couldn’t sleep on the plane) finally caught up to me and I started nodding off.
I didn’t wake up until 10:30 the next morning and even then I was really slow. It didn’t really matter since Aaron had to work so I ended up meeting his friend Malora for lunch. Despite her very European sounding name she is actually an American. Met up with Aaron at his apartment around 2 and now we are getting ready to go out again. We are making our way back to Mike’s tours to do the bar crawl tonight at 8. Sorry to say it is not on bikes this time around. Will post more later…

I totally agree about Mike’s Bike Tours. I was in Munich last spring and had a great time, then woud up meeting a bunch of britts who had flown to Russia to buy a Russian van for next to nothing and were driving it across Europe. They wound up taking me to an Irish pub to watch a Socker game. Lots of fun.

I went on that tour four years ago! Was very fun. Did you jump in the river in the English garden and see the “surfers”?

I have video of the surfers I will put online at a point where I can covert it to ogg. They were amazing. Didn’t get to jump in the river though.
