Dec 7, Train to Munich, and our "Anniversary"

Got up early to shower, eat breakfast, and pack.  Got an Uber at 9:30 am to get to the train station for our 10:28 train.  Went smoothly.  But then we found out, that due to a German rail strike, our train would go no further than Salzburg.  We were on our own to find a way to Munich.  We were told there would be many people trying to cram on the regional train, so I bought bus tickets as a back-up.

We DID manage to get on a train.  We managed to cram into the seats with two women from Boston, Kathy and JoAnna.  We had a blast.  A lot in common.  When they learned it was our anniversary, they "broke" into a bottle of wine (no cork screw).  When the conductor came by to check tickets, they talked our way out of NOT HAVING TICKETS.

We arrived in Munich after two hours.  My phone wasn't working, so JoAnna used hers to get us an Uber.  We planned to maybe meet for dinner.  We checked into Haus Im Tal -- a seemingly weird place.  Our room felt like it was in a basement -- tiny, dark, one small window.  The only place to sit was a hanging wicker seat.  No place to set luggage.

We immediately went up to the rooftop bar.  At least that was very pleasant with a nice view.

​We had two Manhattans.  We were all too tired to meet for dinner.  We took food back to our room.

Happy Anniversary, Mary!
