Muenchin!!!

Munich is wonderful!  Our hotel has the smallest elevator on the planet that fits two people and some luggage... very tightly!  However, the rooms are very nice and the pillows are huge and very fluffy!  We went on a city tour today but it was hard to understand the lady because she kept busting out laughing at herself... we still don't know why!  We went to an awesome palace built by King Ludwig I and each king after him kept adding on so it's huge! And the gardens are just beautiful!  There are baroque and English gardens there so it's cool to see the differences in what people call gardens.  After the tour we came to the hotel and tried to nap but they are currently doing construction on our hotel (oddly enough, adding another elevator) and they just happened to be on the scaffolding right outside our window.  Fell asleep anyway because sleep is hard to come by.  I can't believe we have been here less than a week!  
After the nap we went to the Hard Rock Cafe which is right across the street from the world famous Hofbrauhaus!  The Hard Rock was cool and I was very happy for the English menu because my German doesn't include all the foods they serve here!  We got ice cream afterwards, which is only 1 euro per scoop and it includes the cone!  Chocolate is so much better here.  We walked back to our hotel and let me just say there are soooo many shops and opportunities to shop here.  It's crazy!  And it's all like a 10 minute walk from our hotel.  Too bad I have no money for shopping for myself :(  Anyway, we're going to more castles tomorrow.  Until next time...
