Day 8

Munich -> Brussels -> Amsterdam

Our final day in Munich, so far one of the most amazing cities I have been to. For our last day we wanted to grab some final bratwursts smothered in mustard. Later that day the plan was flying RyanAir again to brussels and then training to Amsterdam. RyanAir aka worst airlines ever flew not out of Munich like the ticket said but Memmingen, like an hour and a half out of the city. With some time to kill because our flight wasn't until 5pm we wandered some more. Little did we know that the trains were not running all the time out to the middle of no where Memmingen. We arrived at the central train station having missed the only train that would have gotten us to the airport on time. Scrambling we decided on a taxi, our only option. Haggling the driver to give us a fixed price we set out on the longest and most expensive cab ride of our lives, 160 euro. At some points the cab driver was pushing 90 miles an hour. It turned out to be a great mode of transportation and allowed us to see more of the country side. All the cabs in Europe are privately owned by the driver and so it actually was a really nice Mercedes.

We naturally arrived at the airport with almost three hours to spare. This also was one of the smallest airports I've ever been too. We found a coffee shop up stairs that provided wifi if you purchased something. So one 6 euro cappuccino later we sat in the sauna that was the airport and tried to figure out how we were going to get from Brussels to Amsterdam.

Finally we took off and 45 minutes later we landed in a small town outside of Brussels about an hour, again RyanAir sucks. Once we bussed into Brussels we purchased train tickets and with another hour to wait we explored Brussels a little bit. We got some chocolate just to say we had Belgium Chocolate. A few hour train ride later we arrived in Amsterdam. Finding the hostel was actually harder than we thought because the main entrance was behind a crepe shop. This hostel had the most steep stairs I have ever climbed in my life and naturally we were on the forth floor. Thankfully they provided wifi and we got in contact with the Kelly and Sheridan so we could all meet up! We met up with them all outside of the grasshopper, the most famous coffee shop in Amsterdam.
