Munich is where my trip started. Due to some poor planning, Darby actually arrived there earlyer than I did, and so he met me at the Grobenzell train station. We had a quick look at Munich the next day, and went on to Oktoberfest.
The next day we met up with Emma, who came in from Zurich, and were supposed to meet up with Mike aswell, he was supposed to be on the same train. Alas, that did not happen, and we had to head off to Ingolstadt to meet Andy without knowing what would happen to Mike. In the end, he called us just as we got to Ingolstadt, so everything worked out well. A night of heavy drinking followed, and a good time was had by all.
Andy and Verena were nice enough to take us around Ingolstadt to see some of the things there. Darby and I managed to get completely lost whilst following them in a car, but we found them again in the end.
