Happy Hour - Beer 1 Euro

Opps - couldn't find the Euro symbol on this keyboard. We're finally in a place where they respect beer with cheap prices so we're making up for lost time - Munich! Not that beer wasn't cheap in Switzerland - except at the British pub where a pint of Guniness was about 11 NZ!! Anyway, we relectantly left Switzerland this morning, where we had a great time. It's a beautiful country whose scenary rivals NZ, except that they don't have any sea - altough they do have ashtrays in toilets which means you can go for a smoking shit!!

Ate lots of cheese and chocolate, which I hear can block you up a bit. Yesterday in Lucerne we went up Mt Pilatus on a crazy railway which reaches angles of about 48 degrees - unfortunatly the top was in cloud but it was a great day out anyway. We enjoyed our time in our Lucerne hostel where we had a room with a balcony that looked out on the river (and no bed bugs). The infastructure in Switzerland is quite full-on compared to NZ - if there's a mountain in the way they just build a tunnel through it - though sometimes you do get the feeling that you're travelling down a road rather than through a country.

Looking forward to our couple of days in Munich and sampling the local beers. Miss NZ a lot but having a great time over here and apparently the weather's crap over there anyway. About half way though our journey - phew!!
