Erfurt and Weimar

I spent my last couple of days in Munich wandering around Olympia Park and the BMW museum (Thursday) and the downtown area (Friday). Both were very good days.

Aside: Germany keyboards reverse z and y. What a pain in the ass.

Friday night I met up with Jayanti, and we took the train to Erfurt, where we met Toby and Bridget. Erfurt was really interesting. It was part of the former East Germany, so there was some noticable differences. There were a couple of run down old apartements that looked quite different that anything I had seen in Munich. We stayed in a really cute bed and breakfast.

Today we are in Weimar, only 15 minutes by train from Erfurt, best known for stuff I don't know much about. I would bust out the lonely planet.....nah :)

Tonight, we part ways again, and I'm off to Berlin for three days. I'll see Toby and Bridget for one more weekend, in Leipzig and Dresden if everything goes according to plan.

I'm not into walking tours generally, but I HIGHLY recommend going on one in Berlin. One of my favourite cities - so much recent history. Enjoy!
