The morning got off to a little bit of a later start than originally planned, mostly because we decided to lay in bed a little while longer.
For those of you following along, yes, I know this is a late post. I apologize. I was tired and the tech wasn’t working for me, so it’ll be a double post day :) The first thing we wanted to do yesterday was get some laundry done. We had found a Waschsalon down the street and figured, while it wasn’t entirely necessary, doing some wash would be helpful so we have less to do when we arrive back in Hattingen on Sunday. So, we dropped our clothes off, eventually figured out how the process worked (you had to pay your money, select a machine, and then push start on the machine…it was mildly complicated), then went back to the hotel to have breakfast. After breakfast, we went back to our laundry, which had more time left on it than we expected, and we hung out until it finished and we had run it through a few dry cycles. The dryers were even more confuzzling to figure out. It was a time lol :) Post-laundry, we dropped the clothes back at the hotel, collected all the souvenirs we’ve gotten on this trek so far (minus the ones left back at Alina and Peter’s) and headed to Deutsche Post. My parents are going camping for a week starting today, so I had texted them about where to send our box of goodies. My mom suggested my grandma, so that’s what we did! At Deutsche Post, we were able to get a big box that fit all the things we were trying to ship. I accidentally filled out the wrong packing slip, but the gentleman behind the counter steered me back in the right direction. We got everything paid for (thankfully we had enough cash as they did not take Visa) and headed on our way. By this point, it was lunchtime, so we found a place called Cafe Luitpold and had some Flammkuchen (it’s becoming a favorite staple of mine) and then we went to the Residenz Munich, which is where King Max I and Queen Maria lived. We didn’t go in, but the outside perimeter and gardens were a delight to explore! By the time we finished that, we were both a little fatigued, but we popped into a dm first to print out tickets for one of our upcoming train journeys before going to the hotel for a break. We chilled for a while; I had the intention of napping but never did. By dinner time, we decided to try a place Brandon had found that was about 10 minutes by train from where we were. It was called Neuhauser Augustiner. The food was great, but we kept getting swarmed by flies and bees, which has been a regular issue for us. I swear we are showering! After dinner, we went back to the hotel and got our things put together so we didn’t have to rush around this morning. Today…well…I’ll write about that later :) Enjoy some pictures from yesterday!
