Wandern

Nothing doing. I didn't get out of home till 10 plus to exchange a wrong train ticket for a right one. I had to pay an extra 78 Euros, and I found out: I FORGOT TO BRING MY MONEY BELT WITH ME. DARN. So I had to walk back to my hostel (15 minutes) and return back to the Hauptbahnhof to repeat my explanation to a new person at the counter. Phew, what sweat.

With really nothing to do, I intentionally got lost and walked the north of Munich. I wanted to locate any music shops by accident, but I wasn't that lucky. Cz. In the end I got really lost, and realized, when I found my bearings, that I was walking further and further away from city center! I stumbled on a queer cd shop, but dug out a rare Bach's St. John Passion featuring a couple of well-known soloists (including Fischer-Dieskau, yay!) and Berlin Phil. A good find.

I realized it was already noon, and gosh, was I going to be late for school! Because I had forgotten to buy the IsarCard this week I couldn't take the train to school, which was way faster than by foot. In the end I passed the Technische Universität, the rear of Hochschule für Musik und Theatre München and the Altes Botanischer Garten. Reached Goethe-Institut just shortly before lessons started. Phew! I made it! But I was way tired when the teacher began lesson.
