On our one day we had in Munich we had what at the time seemed like a lot to do. When in fact it was only three things.

1) buy a tent
2) find a map of the Danube
3) organise trains to Passau (where we were starting the ride down the Danube through Austria and into Bratislava).

We rode from the tent into the city and looked around for a bit, the train was easy, the other two took some time. Lucky for us we went to the city information centre in the middle of town and they showed us where a bike shop was (for a map) and where we should be able to get a tent. Things were looking good.

Well we found the tent place, it was sort of a mountain design outdoors type store and had prices to match. Ryan wanted a thomas the tank engine tent but unfortunately no one in Germany knew of Kmart or thomas the tank engine so that was out. We did end up buying a proper tent because we needed it for the ride down the Danube and EXIT festival in Serbia, so we figured it would be a good investment, also we bought cooking stuff because we wanted to cook the whole way to save some cash.

We then rode onto the bike shop which was not as much help, they did have a thick book on cycling the Danube but it was in German, not so good. So after another look around we could not find anything and decided that we would just wing it when we get to Passau, as that is where a bulk of people ride from.

That night we went back to the tent, interneted it up and had some of their hippy food.
