From Berlin to Munich

Time to leave Berlin... and wait in line at the train station for breakfast. The trip took about 5 hours.

Sounds like a pleasant place.

Cool train. We felt bad, because we reserved seats that a family of four had squatted on. Having public transportation everywhere is great, but there's often some uncomfortable element to sharing an enclosed space with so many people.

Nymphenburg wasn't far from the hotel, so we walked over. It's a huge estate, though the tour only included a percentage of the rooms. There was a 'hall of beauties' that featured pretty portraits of women from the time. A little creepy, yeah. There were a lot of cool swans. 

I made a kitty.
