Munich

This post may be wouldn't be as emotional as it should be because I am writing it after 4 months after that trip happened. But in any case, I am happy that finally I'm doing it. So, let's go!

P.S. Sorry, I don't remember exactly now what was during the 1st and what during the 2nd day exactly, that's why it may be looks like one very long day...

Munich became my last but not least point on the road. I was really tired and didn't expected a lot. And fortunately I was wrong. This city became one of my favorite. And in that city I finally met cool CouchSurfer!

First challenge in Munich happened directly on the railway station. Underground had approximately 17 or 19 lines and a lot of ticket types. Thanks locals, they explained me what to do:)

Second challenge happened in CS apartment. I was chatting before with ONE guy who lives with ONE flatmate. On that day I met 5 guys who was drinking a lot of beer. "Ooookey... Did I put foot in strange (or even dangerous?) situation again???". It was evening, I was tired and didn't have better solutions. First, that guys didn't seem like smbd who will do smth bad. But on the other hand - one girl and 5 guys in one apartment... I decided to speak with all of them first and fortunately I changed my thoughts about them totally very fast! They were very interesting and cool, some of them are also backpackers and they had amazing experience! Phillip (he was that guy, who I found on couchsurfing) works in travel company and has been in South America, India and so on. He is vegan, has nice cat and his room decorated with various Asian (or South American??) stuff. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to speak because of his work but thanks a lot, Phillip, for your hospitality and such wonderful experience! For sure, I'll remember Munich for a long time!

Well... 1st day in Munich started and my biggest mistake was that I randomly chose that underground exit, which linked to big cloth store. Store with food (you understand, that I mean sweets and chocolates shelves) was under it. Imagine, how many time I wasted there. And finally, after even not shopping, only let's say "looking" I've got to the central square. Marienplatz.

BMW Museum in Munich

BMW Museum requires separate post in the blog because of huge amount of photos.

Near BMW Welt. I am not sure how to translate it in English right. Is it BMW Showroom?? Please, anybody who knows, tell me how it should be.

Zalcburg

After so strong emotions in other cities Zalcburg didn't impress me so much. I even thought that it was just wasting time an money but finally I don't regret that I visited it.

Vienna

Woohoo!!! 

With this sound in my mind I left bus in Vienna. I went back to the best city in the world. I thought that Vienna is the best city in the world since my 1st trip to Europe last summer. And I had a lot of expectations this time. So, let's look what Vienna prepared for me this time.

Karlovy Vary

I've already used to 20'C in Europe in July but how I could expect 14'C at the middle of summer??? I was in shorts and T-shirt and try to imagine how this weather suprised me in Karlovy Vary. It was cold even in the bus. Fortunately this bus company offer one cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate during the trip and that hot drink was very helpful in that situation!

After arriving to Karlovy Vary I need something else to warmer myself. I tried to find not very expensive clothes but in the center they had only bad expensive Turkish or Chinese stuff. After unsuccessful waiting on the bus station for 20 minutes to get to the shopping mall I decided that it isn't so cold and will adopt to it. I decided to have a walk but before it to go to the Becherovka museum and have there excursion with tasting:)       .

Prague

I've just left my bus in Prague and first go faced the EastExpress's sign "Kherson, Mykolaiv, Odessa, Uman, Vinnytsa..." (all that cities are Ukrainian and Mykolaiv is my native one:)) I didn't expect to see this on the bus station in Prague at all:) Then I tried to find bus stop with required buses but it wasn't easy. I was tired and decided to take a rest and sit on the nearest bench. I was relaxing and looking on the sunrise. Recently 2 men with sport bags stopped near the bench next to my one. Homeless man went to them and asked something in Czech. And one of the men answered him in Russian to go away and not in very good and cultural manner. Prague, Czech Republic. To the nearest Russian border at least 1000 km. 
 .
It wasn't very easy to find the bus and to get to the CouchSurfers' apartment. I was near their house at 6 a.m. but I decided that it is too cruel to wake up somebody so early:) It was beautiful sunny morning. I found nice bench not far from there and had a breakfast. I took some food from Poland and it was time for it:) I had ciabatta (bread), natural yogurt (usually in Ukraine we have only sweet with fruits or nuts), Brie cheese with nuts and mineral water. It Ukraine for this "breakfast" I have to pay around 40 UAH (3,7 EUR) in supermarket but in Poland it cost 1,5 EUR. With this nice breakfast my morning in Prague was started.
