Norwegians day 2

Since we had so much fun on night 1 the girls from Norway wanted to get together on Day 2 also since they were leaving. We had breakfast at central station which for me was only 2 bananas another surprise bottle of bubbly water! I don't mind the carbonated water if I know I'm getting it but to be surprised with it I don't like that. 

We then took the subway to MarianPlatz and looked in some shops and shoe stores. I was really shocked at the prices of under armor stuff in these shops. The girls said the Birkenstock shoes were a steal at 60 euros and they bought 2 pairs and said they are double the price in Norway. 

One of the girls had an engagement ring on (Alice) and she said it wasn't an engagement ring because in Norway (the only place in the world) the engagement ring goes on the right hand ring finger. 

We went back to central station to drop off the stuff they bought and then back to MarianPlatz. We considered hopping on a sightseeing bus but they had already done that. 

Lunch and beer it was instead. I had this fabulousness:

Which is a pork shank and those yellow things were like soft bread but not really potatoes as the English menu called them. I really needed to be able to speak more German for the simple task of ordering food. Between the beer and the food my stomach never felt good in Germany. 

After lunch we went walking and sight seeing and came to this church / cathedral looking building. 

There was a band playing so we decided to sit and get another liter or two of beer. Finally the day was ending and we headed back to central station after a great day of sight seeing. We all became great friends and they invited me and friends to come to Oslo, Norway. We took the train to central station and then headed towards the airport. We said our goodbyes on the way and I hopped off at rosenplatz station and headed for Gastieg / Hilton. The girls from Norway were really nice people and they never once road the train without buying a single 1 way ticket for each trip.

I changed clothes and went back to central station grabbed the U5 train for the Wiesn and wandered around forever until I found Gummer and we started our night. 

I'm sure someone else already blogged this so I will sum it up to say Rich the English guy playing guitar and singing, dinner with Rich, Irish Johnny and the Jameson. You don't talk about the Irish troubles, please. We all ended up sticking together tonight and everyone was accounted for. No disasters or worry about each other like the night before. 

Sleep!
