Our last destination on the Trail to the Alps trip was also a short one - Munich. That said, I was really looking forward to the city. We arrived on a cloudy day and got a tour of the heart of the Munich. The best part though was much sausage lunch with a pretzel and beer at the famous Hofbrauhaus.

Our hotel was all the way out in the suburbs (and traffic was terrible), but I decided to make the trek back to town with the group for dinner. There was no way I was staying in on my last night! We got back to the Karlsplatz and had dinner at the Der Pschorr beer house. I was really excited for it (and I love Hacker-Pschorr beer). In all honestly though, it wasn't that great. I was a bit disappointed in the letdown.

And that was my trip! The next morning I left the group to get some rest at the airport hotel and flew back to San Francisco the day after. In all, I had a blast! Yes, I was exhausted at the end, and it wasn't always the greatest having the long bus rides or sharing a hotel room. Nevertheless, it was a fantastic way to experience Europe for the first time (and it also changed my mind about group travel, as I was skeptical before I took the trip).

Expect to see some more lifestyle posts now that I've finished with this long travel series. Later this year though, be on the lookout for a second group of Topdeck posts after I come back from another European adventure!
