okay, so a quick run through. we left vienna to go to munich, from munich to venice, venice to firenze, and florence to amsterdam. right now we're in timl's apartment here in amsterdam waiting for our compatriots to finish with the wonderful van gogh museum (which we saw the last time we were here, and was awesome).
mmkay. so munich. great hostel, next to the train station, so we frequently just crossed the street and went into the bratwurst stand just inside the station. we went to the famous beer hall the hofbrauhaus our first night in munich, and it was fantastic. we did a series of wonderfully absurd toasts, including one very memorable one to gregor mendel (about whom toasts are always particularly emotional and memorable).
we also saw the champion's league final match in our hostel's bar in munich. unfortunately, the video feed kept failing so we ended up dashing up the stairs to the lobby to watch the penalty kicks at the end of the game. (i hate ronaldo because he is a cocky bastard, but he is damn good)
we also went to dachau on our last day in munich, which was a rather somber day. we also saw indian jones 4 in munich, in which the villains are, for the first time, thankfully not nazis. that would have been awkward.
ok. well im out of time at the moment. we'll describe our experiences in italia in the very near future.
peace and love from amsterdam

I hate to contradict you guys on your own blog, but Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn't the first, but, indeed, the second Indy film not to involve Nazis. The second film, the Temple of Doom, featured the Thuggee cult as the villains.
love,
tim
