We got up plenty early today. The Munich YMCA puts on a nice continental breakfast buffet. As our plane doesn't depart until evening, we are in no rush. We bought the big zone transit tickets for 18 Euros so we could re-visit some downtown spots and later head out to the airport which is about 45 minutes away. We had a nice relaxing morning and ate lunch in the only Indian restaurant of our trip. We were waiting to be checked in by 3:20 pm.

Today, we needed to get back to Munich. Since, it takes only a little more than four hours by train, we reserved seats for the 1:16 pm trip. That meant we had enough time to slowly pack up our bags and head downtown. Unlike yesterday, we had picked up stuff for breakfast and ate before leaving. We stuffed the bags into a train station locker and walked back down towards the lake. We were able to stroll back in time for a quick lunch.

On the train, we enjoyed to scenery. Some of the cheese we saw for sale must've come from the gray cows munching grass. In our train car there were a group of young Swiss guys heading to the last weekend of Octoberfest. They certainly didn't find any reason to start the party in Germany. By the time we arrived in Munich at a bit after 5:00 pm, they staggered out of the station singing and shouting.

Our flight stopped in Calgary to pick up more passengers and was a little late leaving there. We got into Munich in the afternoon but with nearly zero minutes of sleep. We checked into the YMCA which is not far from the main train station. We ate and went promptly to bed at about 7:30 pm. What youthful exuberance!
