If I had known I was going to go hiking, I would have worn different shoes

Holy crap did we sleep in! By the time we both woke up it was already noon. Well, there's a couple hours of perfect weather down the tubes. We have such bad luck with weather over here that it's a crime to waste even an hour of it. After rushing to get ready, we hopped on the subway to the hauptbahnof (main train station) where we had to get our tickets for the S-bahn to Herrsching, which is near Andechs. After about an hour ride down to Herrsching, we started the trek to the monastery.

It was quite a hike, let me say. It was my fault that we got so turned around and by the time we got to the monastery not only was it already 4pm, but Angela worked some blisters on her heels. We enjoyed a beer and some pretzels before walking through the church, and after snapping a couple photos, we enjoyed a couple bratwursts on bread, with another Russ'n.

Having had our fill of the monastery, we decided to make our way back to Herrsching where we could hopefully spend some time by the lake there, the Ammersee. Well, as luck would have it, we watched the last bus of the day to Herrsching pull away just as we were about to cross the street to sit at the bus stop. After doing some thinking about how important it really was to see the lake, we decided to take the bus to a different train station where we hopped back on the S-bahn and came back to Munich.

Sitting in our hotel now and will probably just watch some TV shows I bought on iTunes before we left. Tomorrow is our delivery and drive to Vienna.
