We're Famous, Teil Zwei

Well I've been home for an hour and I've already managed to find and download the video shown on TVO. It's nice to type on an English keyboard, and I even had a crack at some German there. I didn't look it up so sorry if it's inaccurate!

Enjoy the video.

"Good luck with our new terminal"

These were the last words of our well humoured captain before a nerve racking stroll through T5. In actual fact, the experience wasn't bad. We got our luggage within 15 minutes and there was no queue for passport control. We're now on the 490 home - it's like a personal shuttle for me; walked 50 yards from customs to get the bus, drops me 50 yards from home. 90p. Bargain. We were up at 4.30 (European) and I haven't slept at all. Will need a quick recharge before doing anything else. Toodles!

Terminal Five is... Well, it's closed.

We made it to the last brewery in Munich, met Jan and had a beer before making it to the Airport with plenty of time to spare. Our flight was cancelled along with a few others. So British Airways (or BAA depending on how you look at it) have put us up in a hotel near the airport for a 7am flight tomorrow. Naturally we're in the bar working a tab. Already shown the barman one new drink. Anyway, early start tomorrow!

The last day, but not the last post

Well it's day 18 of our trip. Yesterday wasn't all as successful as we would have hoped though. We set out for the infamous Aufseß around noon only to be informed that there are only two buses a day there. So over-equipped and under-prepared we had to cancel our trip to several breweries. Instead we took it easy as our trip to Buttenheim was an unexpected success! The beer was great and we quickly became locals of the pub by the railway. When we got back to Bamberg we squeezed in another two breweries, the first nearly resulted in meeting the owner (but she didn't show). The next brewery had run out of beer, but that didn't stop two locals accosting us at the bar and buying us schnapps all evening! We stayed in for quite a while before stumbling 2 miles back home! The hangovers didn't help the Aufseß cause! We're just packing the last of our things before heading back to Munich for our evening flight home. Hopefully Terminal 5 won't swallow our luggage! Oh, we still have one brewery left!

We're famous!

There's no appropriate photo to go with this post, but I think there's some film. We ended up staying up late last night drinking Jager in the hostel with one of the housemates. I think Chris and I made her cry, hopefully with laughter and not boredom. We knew we had to be up early as Lilly, the girl who owns the hostel, had asked us to greet a camera crew who were doing a piece on the hostel. So this morning we waited for the camera crew and continued our fast as we hadn't eaten since lunch the previous day. When they arrived we spent the next three hours being interviewed, directed and told to act out various daily tasks. The crew were interested in our expedition and rushed us in to town to film us visiting breweries! It took ages and we're now a little behind, but we're now in Buttenheim!

Brewery 30 - At last!

It's been a panic, but we made it to the 30th brewery of our trip. Still another two to see today. We may even have an extra companion but we'll see!

Monday has been cancelled

We went on a bit of a bender yesterday, resulting in the first hangover of the trip. The picture was taken in a dive called Pelican. The Lonely Planet guide suggested it as a young and happening boozer. It was in fact where people go for there to feel 10 years younger, you know, when they were 30. By this point we were drinking whiskey. The night wound up in a blues bar run by a scouser (forgotten his name). Chris and I propped up the bar and drank with the owner, the musician, the bouncer and any one else. Drank so much Whiskey that we lost count so the owner just bought all our drinks. Got lost on the way home. Woke up at 2pm. So Monday has been cancelled!
