Auf Wiedersehen München

Munich was a great stop on our #chapot10 journey.  Central to all the things that we wanted to see in the region.  But time for the next leg - Berlin.  Instead of of doing that whole airport thing, that tends to feel a bit like work, we opted for the high speed train, good way to see the country side and be lazy for a few hours. 

For a little bit more we chose first class for the 6 hour trip north. Unfortnately we must walk though the sec, sec, ssssssss, second class to the dining cart.  We make sure that we hold our breaths and dont touch anthing thing on the way past.  Oh those second class citizens really are something!  All kidding, but it was a bit smelly.

We, OK I, was a little confused at the beginning and we took our seats in Car 38, it should have been Car 28.  So during a quick station stop, by quick I mean 2 minutes, we packed up and bolted about 100 metres to the other end of the train.  Lucky for us the Guard held the train for a few more seconds as the gaggle of gays, with luggage in tow, sprinted down the platform.

We have now settled in for the ride north, with a weeee lil photo shoot along the way - 

With some tricky shots to really show how fast we are actually belting along.

We are now just over half way, time to put the ipad and camera away and get the Lonely Planet Guide open to brush up on some Berlin things. 

At this stage, hiring bicycles is on the cards, along with the good ol' hopping on the hop on, hop off bus for a broad look around Berlin.  Maybe too some shopping - as we have really only managed to significantly increase our magnet collection.
