Back in Munich, Germany

We got up and had a fantastic breakfast with the usual, but this time we had eggs, bacon and a fruit salad. A welcome surprise and a great 'ending' breakfast for the last day official on the road.

We rolled out of town and we were met with fantastic weather. A welcome change from yesterday: partly cloudy and about 15C; absolutely gorgeous for the final day of riding.

We only had about 250km to cover today to make it back to Munich so we just meandered around the farmlands, but honestly it was a welcome change from the switch backs of the alps. We had to refer to the GPS only a few times during the ride, and finally to check into the hotel. For once the thing worked great and brought us to the front door of the hotel. We parked right in front, and checked in and headed to the room.

After packing the gear in the sea bag, we took showers and headed downtown on the train as if we were locals. We went to an Irish bar for dinner and had fish and chips and pizza. I've never had so much pizza in my life as this trip and my marathon training is going to be great coming home.

We then headed downstairs to the assuie bar and had a few pints and watched the closing ceremonies with the staff and a guy from London who was full out drunk. good times!

We headed back on the subway to the hotel and course stopped in the hotel bar for a couple of ,33liters. We had a few, then called it a night.

Tomorrow we just have to turn in the bikes, find the new hotel and drink more beer before real life comes back.
