Today we have breakfast and then we have to get our luggage from Citadines (where we last stayed in Munich). The plan is to get some cabs the boys will drop us off at our new hotel with our luggage then they will go over to Citadines to get the rest of our luggage that we left behind. While they are doing that we can go and sort out getting the train to Frankfurt on Wednesday. I cannot believe it but our plan went to plan. Danos and Liz stayed at the hotel to try...

Also the rotunda that Leisal danced arou...

We have no idea what we are singing. First of all we were sitting next to some me...

Then people got on an wanted Gera...
