I arrived in Munich today. I am sorry to leave Weimar but excited about this trip. I took the train to Erfurt and then straight through to Munich. It was an easy trip and it was quicker than I thought. I took a taxi to the Hilton and arrived at about 13:00. I checked in right away. There was a problem yesterday with my reservation. They asked me to check-in online and one option was to take the room they had picked for me, which I took. I then find out they gave me a Twin room!!! I had to write several emails to fix this because they just kept saying they couldn't CHANGE my reservation. I did not want a change, I wanted the room I reserved and paid for on 30 May. Eventually I had to send my copy of the confirmation to the hotel. But when I got here all was well.
This hotel is finally totally renovated. But, they took away the old bar and instead there is a very nice bar but it is supposed to be a "happening" place. There is only over priced bar food, and no other restaurant. The prices for the drinks are ok but there is no tv anymore. So I have to watch tennis on a bootleg website. Roger Federer is playing Nick Kyrios.
Last year when I was here at this time the weather was shit and today it is again. It is dark, cold and rainy. I went up the street for italian for lunch after I checked-in and had a pastrami sandwich here. I hope tomorrow is nicer. If not I will go to the Alte Pinakothek. I want at least one if not two nice, sunny days to walk around and look and drink beer and enjoy. We will see.
